Marrakech Faces Challenges in Internet Service Quality: Government and Technical Efforts to Improve Connectivity

These issues have not gone unnoticed; they have reached the halls of Parliament, where parliamentary adviser Abdel Rahman Wafa posed a question to the Minister Delegate for Digital Transition and Administrative Reform, condemning the negative effects on daily life and tourism. He called for the intervention of relevant authorities to improve service quality.

In a step towards technical solutions, the company “Starlink,” owned by Elon Musk, entered into negotiations with the Moroccan government to deploy satellite internet services in desert areas. This initiative aims to enhance connectivity in the southern regions of the kingdom and alleviate pressure on traditional infrastructure.

Additionally, some local entities have launched initiatives to improve internet quality, such as speed tests and providing recommendations to users. The Ministry of Equipment and Transport also urged road users to exercise caution during the expected weather disruptions, reflecting the authorities’ focus on improving digital infrastructure.

Overall, various parties in Marrakech are working to address internet challenges, whether through political pressure to improve services or through innovative technical solutions like satellite internet. These efforts are expected to enhance the user experience and reinforce Marrakech’s position as a leading tourist destination.
