Fiber optics : Orange tries to stay in the race
March 25, Mayotte THD (Océindie group) inaugurated the first cabinet of the fiber optic network called to cover the entire Mahorais territory in the next five years. Océinde has been able to assert its Reunionese experience to be awarded by the Departmental Council a delegation of public service of thirty years. Mayotte THD undertakes to invest half of the 183 million euros necessary to bring fiber optics to the doors of all accommodation, of all administrations and all companies in the department. Its offer was considered more attractive than that of Orange. But the historic operator, unhappy candidate, comes back to the charge by threatening to cease repairs to its conventional telephone network, Very damaged by the Chido cyclone, and to fiber at its expense the most urban areas. This attitude has caused the anger of elected officials Mahorais. At the beginning of April, the president of the Department, Ben Issa Ossani, wrote to Matignon and Manuel Valls, Minister of Overseas, To alert on the risks that such a decision would make on the public service delegation : Mayotte Thd would no longer have the means to make its network profitable if it was competed in the most profitable areas.
Future Law-Program Law : Mahorais expectations
The Mayotte Departmental Council rendered its advisory opinion on the Bill-Program Law presented by Paris three weeks earlier on April 10.. The community met the expectations of the unions by asking to include the alignment of social minima from 2026, While the State wishes to repel this deadline to the next decade. Likewise, The Departmental Council hopes that the new airport track project leads "as soon as possible". Paris currently seems to favor the option of building a new airport in the north of Grande-Terre, Rather than building a new track at the current Pamandzi airport, who would probably take less time. Departmental elected officials also request the abolition of the territorialized residence permit, exception to common law which allows foreigners to stay in Mayotte without being able to join the rest of the national territory.
