Early this year three main Moroccan telecom companies (Maroc Telecom, Meditel, and Inwi) blocked VOIP services.
Since that time Internet users in Morocco could not call inside and outside the country using free applications such as Line, Whatsapp, Viber and Skype which work through 3G and 4G internet.
Telecom service providers confirmed that they blocked only VOIP services in these applications while pictures, videos and text messaging still work.
For now the applications still work in Wi-Fi networks. However the most possible they will be restricted within the next two months.
VOIP services are highly important in keeping families connected with their relatives and friends abroad.
What people think about this restriction?
Any restriction on these services means a restriction of communication between the families
The Internet is a free service that no one has the right to censor or confiscate
We all understand that the main reason of VOIP blocking is money.
According to Article 1 of the National Telecommunications Regulatory Agency (ANRT/DG/N° 04-04)
The commercial provision of VoIP services to the public can only be done by telecom operators with a license.
As long as free applications such as Line, Whatsapp, Viber and Skype are offering VOIP services the same as telecom providers but much cheaper of even free of charge, they can be blocked. The absence of a license lets Moroccan telecom providers the legal right to block using VoIP services through these applications.
