Morocco Telecom used as a state monopoly, but is currently controlled by Vivendi, a French telecommunications company. Ironically, Vivendi is a leading VoIP provider in many other countries other than Morocco.
While some popular games with large amounts of servers are still inaccessible, users are largely reporting latency peaks, ping increase, and disconnects generalized. Players on the second largest Internet service provider in Morocco, Meditel, have so far not affected; However, since the ban on VoIP in Morocco happened in the same way, you can expect Meditel Morocco and other Internet service providers to do the same every day now.

The initiative of the Moroccan telecommunications industry comes half a year after a concerted effort to block voice over IP (VoIP ). The decision seems to have descended from the ANRT, the Moroccan Agency telecommunications regulator. At the end of 2015, all Moroccan ISP began blocking the VoIP services popular in the world, like Viber, Skype and WhatsApp.
The anti-VoIP trend has also swept other countries in the Middle East. Is this a trend that other countries around the world to worry about? It is unfortunate that governments continue to show that they do not respect the rights of citizens to freedom.
