AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoSubsea Connectivity Boost for Réunion: Orange is backing the ReuNION submarine cable linking La Réunion to South Africa, aiming to cut latency, add route diversity, and prepare for ageing regional systems; Orange will handle the “landing party” work on the island while Alcatel Submarine Networks designs and builds the system. Telecom Investment Context: The project is still in development (surveys, permits, manufacturing, marine installation), but consortium partners include Telco OI, Réunicable and La Réunion Connectée, with EU and regional funding support. Local Business Disruption: A ride-hailing driver in Saint-Denis was stabbed after a suspected mistaken-identity dispute tied to a client’s ex-partner, with police investigating and the victim treated but not in danger. Digital Economy Angle: A separate telecom study on mobile data pricing (Broadband Genie) ranked the UK 46th globally for average cost per 1GB, a reminder of how connectivity costs shape consumer and business budgets.
