Morocco's ADSL market grows by 294% in 2005.
Since its launch in the Moroccan market in November 2003, ADSL subscribers' base grew at a phenomenal rate reaching 0.331 million by end of June 2006. ADSL market grew by 97.0% during the second quarter of 2006 alone far outstripping that of the total Internet subscribers' growth of 8.2%. This is due to internal churn from dialup and leased lines into ADSL for cost savings. Morocco's Internet accounts penetration in Morocco currently stands at 1.12%.The Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in Morocco do not require full-fledged licenses. Instead, any ISP in the country should obtain a declaration from the ANRT, the telecommunications regulator. These declarations have to be renewed on a yearly basis. The ANRT then forwards a copy of this declaration to the concerned governmental agencies. The declaration is essentially a class license that applicants can get with relative ease.
