A key regional player, Orange Group, entered the market through the acquisition of a major stake in the telco Mdi Telecom, the report notes. Morocco’s fixed-line broadband market is dominated by Maroc Telecom. The introduction and extension of mobile broadband services have gone far to improving access nationally. Mobile internet by mid-2019 accounted for 93.2% of all internet connections, leaving Maroc Telecom’s DSL service with most of the remainder. The dominance of mobile internet access is likely to continue given the improvements in LTE reach and capabilities, and the preference among consumers to adopt mobile solutions for both voice and data, the report forecasts.
