Telecommunications penetration rate in Morocco rises to 57.8% in 2006
2007-01-26
The telecommunication penetration market rate in Morocco has continued to rise, reaching 57.78% for both mobile and land lines in 2006, according to figures disclosed by telecom regulatory authority ANRT. Internet penetration, however, still remains low, reaching only 1.34% of the population in 2006 up from 0.88% in 2005. The development of the telecommunications sector was boosted by the dynamism of the value added market and the multiplication of call centres, which reached 235 by late 2006, ANRT said.
In related news, Maroc Telecom announced earlier this week that its sales turnover in 2006 exceeded $1.7 billion -- a record 10.1% rise compared to 2005. (MAP, L'Economiste, Liberation)
