Mauritius Telecom

Mauritius Telecom was until not so long ago the monopole telecom company in Mauritius Island.

In 1992 was established the Mauritius Telecom and in 2000 they went in a partnership with France Telecom as Mauritius Telecom wanted to secure the market share.

With the partnership of Mauritius Telecom with France Telecom there has been a lot of development in the telecommunication branch.

Telecom forms part of the top enterprises in the country. Around the year 2000-2001 Mauritius Telecom started offering ADSL line, which at this time was very expensive,

Since 2006 Mauritius Telecom offered a new service called Myt consisting of ADSL line, TV and phone. Through the same line you can connect to ADSL watch TV or rent online videos and call for low cost all around the world.

Here is the statistic of Mauritius Telecom; they have around 350,000 fixed line clients, 50,000 dial-up Internet, 500,000 mobile users, and 22,000 ADSL and Myt users.

Mauritius Telecom is trying to offer the best services as the law has changed and has allowed other companies to operate in telecommunication business which make Telecom not anymore having the monopole.

But the ADSL line for the island is still not as good as in Europe, but we mustn’t forget that Mauritius is an island and is connected through a big undersea cable the SAT3/WASC/SAFE.
