Morocco-Telecoms-Mobile-And-Broadband-Statistics- And-Analyses Report Information More information from: https://www.wiseguyreports.com/reports/2463445-morocco-telecoms-mobile-and-broadband-statistics- and-analyses Morocco - Telecoms, Mobile and Broadband - Statistics and Analyses Report / Search Code: WGR2463445 Publish Date: 10 November, 2019 Price 1-user PDF : $ 1150.0 Site PDF : $ 3450.0 Enterprise PDF : $ 4600.0 Description: Morocco makes progress in expanding tele-medicine facilities Morocco has developed one of the most advanced telecommunications markets in Africa, supported by the government’s Maroc Digital 2020 strategy to encourage the development of a digital economy and on the National Broadband Plan which aims to provide fixed or mobile broadband access to the entire population by 2022. The part-privatised incumbent telco Maroc Telecom remains the dominant player in the fixed-line sector though has effective competition in the mobile sector. A key regional player, Orange Group, entered the market through the acquisition of a major stake in the telco Médi Telecom. Morocco’s fixed-line broadband market is dominated by Maroc Telecom. Despite regulatory efforts to enforce LLU and wholesale pricing there is little in the way of access to its networks and as a result the fixed-line broadband market has not developed to its potential. Nevertheless, a small number of operators, including Inwi and Orange Morocco, have begun to offer competing DSL services, albeit limited in reach. Despite these market limitations and Maroc Telecom’s near monopoly, Morocco has developed some of the lowest broadband prices and highest penetration rates in Africa. This has been helped by the excellent connectivity to international fibre cables. The introduction and extension of mobile broadband services has 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. This report analyses Morocco’s fixed-line, broadband and mobile telephony sectors, including statistics, assessments of recent regulatory measures, details on licensing regimes and spectrum auctions, and profiles of the major players. The report also includes a range of subscriber forecasts to 2024. Key developments: Government progresses with several key telecom projects, rekindles interest in selling an 8% stake in Maroc Telecom; Maroc Digital 2020 strategy takes shape; Maroc Telecom designated as having SMP in several market areas; New cable connecting Mali and Morocco comes online; Amendment to Telecommunications Act aimed at giving greater powers to the regulator; National Broadband Plan to 2022 extending reach of services; Government extends telemedicine services to more rural areas; MNP process amended to make number portings automated by end-2019; Inwi launches Morocco’s first m-payment service; Inwi and Maroc Telecom trial 5G technologies; Report updates include the regulators market data to March 2019, telcos operating data to Q2 2019, Telecom Maturity Index charts and analyses, recent market developments.

  • Genealogies of Feminism: Leftist Feminist Subjectivity in the Wake of the Islamic Revival in Contemporary Morocco
    Genealogies of Feminism: Leftist Feminist Subjectivity in the Wake of the Islamic Revival in Contemporary Morocco Nadia Guessous Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2011 ©2011 Nadia Guessous All rights reserved ABSTRACT Genealogies of Feminism: Leftist Feminist Subjectivity in the Wake of the Islamic Revival in Contemporary Morocco Nadia Guessous This dissertation is an ethnographic and genealogical study of leftist feminist subjectivity in the wake of the Islamic Revival in contemporary Morocco. It draws on two years (2004-2006) of field research amongst founding members of the Moroccan feminist movement whose activism emerged out of their immersion in and subsequent disenchantment with leftist and Marxist politics in the early 1980s. Based on ethnographic observations and detailed life histories, it explores how Moroccan feminists of this generation came to be constituted as particular kinds of modern leftist subjects who: 1) discursively construct “tradition” as a problem, even while positively invoking it and drawing on its internal resources; 2) posit themselves as “guardians of modernity” despite struggling with modernity’s constitutive contradictions; and 3) are unable to parochialize their own normative assumptions about progress, modernity, freedom, the body, and religion in their encounter with a new generation of women who wear the hijab. How and why a strong commitment to ideas associated with modernity, with women’s rights and with the left is seen as necessitating a condemnation and disavowal of “traditional” and of non-secular ways of being is one of the main themes animating this project.

CORONAVIRUS ET GESTION DU CONFINEMENT EN CHINE ET AU MAROC : QUELLE PLACE POUR LA TECHNOLOGIE DIGITALE ? CORONAVIRUS AND CONTAINMENT IN CHINA AND MOROCCO: WHAT PLACE FOR DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY? M’BARKA BOUHOUILI Enseignante chercheure, Faculté des Sciences Juridiques, Economiques et Sociales, CUAM, Université Ibn Zohr, Agadir, Maroc [email protected] Date de soumission : 13/02/2020 Date d’acceptation : 21/05/2020 DOI : https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3873530 Revue Internationale du Marketing et Management Stratégique, Volume 2, N°2, Avril-Juin 2020 Page 75 ISSN : 2665-7414, e-ISSN : 2665-7341 CORONAVIRUS ET GESTION DU CONFINEMENT EN CHINE ET AU MAROC : QUELLE PLACE POUR LA TECHNOLOGIE DIGITALE ? RESUME Cet article se propose d’exposer le rôle qu’a joué le digital dans la lutte contre le Coronavirus dans les deux pays Chine et Maroc. Nous ne parlerons pas des solutions médicales qui ne font pas partie de notre champ de spécialité, mais des solutions technologiques ayant facilité l’ordre social et la limitation de la propagation dudit virus. Cette étude n’est pas comparative, vu les grandes différences existantes entre les deux pays, que ce soit au niveau social, culturel, économique ou encore technologique. Cependant, elle vise à éclairer la place qu’a occupé le digital dans chacun des deux pays pendant la phase où ils combattent ce virus et sa participation dans la réussite de leurs mises en quarantaine. Le choix de la Chine se justifie par le fait qu’elle soit le premier pays ayant connu le Covid 19 et ayant fait usage des technologies digitales dans ce sens, et celui du Maroc se justifie par le fait qu’à la date de la production de cet article (mars, avril 2020), son auteur y est présent et suit de près l’usage, positif ou négatif, que l’Etat et les citoyens marocains ont fait du digital pour faire face au coronavirus.

The Persistence of the Andalusian Identity in Rabat, Morocco Abstract This thesis investigates the problem of how an historical identity persists within a community in Rabat, Morocco, that traces its ancestry to Spain. Called Andalusians, these Moroccans are descended from Spanish Muslims who were first forced to convert to Christianity after 1492, and were expelled from the Iberian peninsula in the early seventeenth century. I conducted both ethnographic and historical archival research among Rabati Andalusian families. There are four main reasons for the persistence of the Andalusian identity in spite of the strong acculturative forces of religion, language, and culture in Moroccan society. First, the presence of a strong historical continuity of the Andalusian heritage in North Africa has provided a dominant history into which the exiled communities could integrate themselves. Second, the predominant practice of endogamy, as well as other social practices, reinforces an intergenerational continuity among Rabati Andalusians. Third, the Andalusian identity is a single identity that has a complex range of sociocultural contexts in which it is both meaningful and flexible.
