Mauritius wish to be a WIFI nation

[Joe]

the tiny island of Mauritius, with a population od 1.2M people , wish to be the first 100% WIFI country..

are they trying to be a geeks holiday resort because i think they dont care about the sunlight abnd sandy beaches there just the WIFI net LOL

his tropical island off the east coast of Africa is best-known for its white-sand beaches, its designer clothing outlets and its spicy curries.

But tiny Mauritius is about to stake a new claim to fame. By year's end, or soon afterward, it is expected to become the world's first nation with coast-to-coast wireless Internet coverage, the first country to become one big "hot spot."

"If there's anyone who can do it, it's us," said Rizwan Rahim, the head of ADB Networks, the company installing the wireless radio network across the 40-mile-long island. "It's a small place, so for a wireless network it's manageable. For us, it's a test. If it's successful here, we can island-hop to [mainland] Africa."
