my.t Mauritius Telecom is a telecommunications company that operates in Mauritius. Established in 1992, the company is the primary provider of voice, mobile, internet and IPTV services in the country. The Mauritius government holds a 40% stake in the company while the remaining 60% is owned by Orange S.A., a multinational telecommunications corporation based in France.
The history of Mauritius Telecom is closely linked to the introduction and development of telecommunications in Mauritius. The installation of the first telephone line dates back to 1883. From a state-owned entity, Mauritius Telecom has successfully undertaken its transition into a private company in the context of the liberalisation of the country's telecommunications sector. In 2000, Mauritius Telecom entered into a strategic partnership with France Telecom, now Orange S.A, which acquired 40% of its shares. The company was known as Orange Mauritius until rebranding to my.t in November 2017.
