Morocco - The Charm of Contrasts
Morocco - a country with 34-million people, which in 2008 reached 5.3% GDP growth, recording unemployment at 2.3% level. In 2007, there were about 3 million land lines and more than 20 million cellular phones there, which means catching up on the limited infrastructure through the use of wireless technology.
Morocco is on the route of the famous fiber cable (SEA-ME-WE-3) linking Europe (Germany) and Asia (with Broadband Dsl in Japan and Australia). The cable is known that it is damaged by ship anchors in the Egyptian port of Alexandria at least once a year, which is the cause of massive global telecommunications problems.
Since the second millennium BC, the country Xdsl inhabited by nomadic tribes of Berbers, also known as Moors. Since the twelfth century BC its coasts were settled by the Phoenicians, and from the 3rd century BC they belonged to the Carthaginian Empire. In 43 AD the Romans conquered the country and incorporated the territories into the Roman Empire.
The birth of the modern country in the seventh century was connected with the influence of Arabs, who brought their customs, culture, and Islam, to which most of the Berbers converted. Berber dynasties formed governments and reigned over the country that, after the 11th century, ruled most of Northwest Africa, as well as large sections of Islamic Iberia and Andalusia (the territories of present day broadband speed meter and Portugal). Arabic tradition mixed with European influences from the Iberian Peninsula.
Almost anywhere in Morocco one can see at least one GSM antenna. People, in search for good TV reception, give free rein to their imagination, creating true works of antenna art.
