The Government Council approved three draft decrees granting licenses for the establishment and operation of telecommunications networks using fifth-generation (5G) mobile technology. The decrees were presented by the Minister Delegate to the Head of Government in charge of Digital Transition and Administrative Reform.
The first draft decree (No. 2.25.876) grants a license to Itissalat Al-Maghrib (Maroc Telecom) to establish and operate 5G telecommunications networks, government spokesperson and Minister Delegate for Relations with Parliament Mustapha Baitas announced during a press briefing following the Council meeting.
The second decree (No. 2.25.877) grants a similar license to Médi Telecom, while the third (No. 2.25.878) authorizes Wana Corporate to deploy and operate 5G networks under the same framework, he added.
Baitas emphasized that the issuance of these licenses follows a competitive call for bids launched by the National Telecommunications Regulatory Agency (ANRT), in accordance with Law No. 24-96 on postal and telecommunications services, as amended and supplemented.
He also recalled that this procedure was preceded by the approval of the specifications attached to the decrees, validated by the administrative committee established under Decree No. 2.25.565 of July 11, 2025.
