In Morocco, there is still a monopoly on the ADSL broadband supply, that makes the prices to be relatively high for a country like morocco,so we pay for 256K, 30 dollars for the Line and the ISP, there is only 100 000 ADSL subscribers,the telecom regulation authority said that there is a potential of 500 000 in the next years.
Recently there is a licence which was attributed to a second telecom provider that planes to provide low cost broadband with wimax, by establishing a nation wide wireless network combined with optical fibre.
There are also two 3GPP licenses that will be attributed at the end of year, so i guess that is a reason more to make broadband prices to drop.
I really don't know what is best suitable for a low cost broadband in developing countries Wimax or 3GPP or classis technologies?
