Moroccan telecom regulator, ANRT, has decided to open up the ADSL market within Morocco.
While this move will ultimately allow telecom service providers to establish a formidable position within the country, it does however affect Maroc Telecom’s position. Maroc Telecom’s has a monopoly at present, and according to telecompaper.com, the operator still disagrees with three measures; providing collocation of third-party operators’ equipment in its existing cabinets, installing multi-operator cabinets for part of their future nodes and establishing an active wholesale offer for third-party operators under a virtual unbundled local access model.
Moroccan telecom regulator, ANRT, has given Maroc Telecom until 1 August to make a wholesale offer to alternative operators Meditel and Inwi, and to provide a technical and tariff wholesale offer for passive access to its fixed local loop. Inwi could launch its ADSL service at the end of the year; however, Inwi has yet to announce its intention to join the ADSL market.
