DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/cb9261/3q08_morocco_mobil)
has announced the addition of IE Market Research Corp.'s new report
"3Q08 Morocco Mobile Forecast, 2008 - 2010" to their offering.

   Maroc Telecom will be losing market share to Wana in Morocco's
mobile operator space.

   This Mobile Forecast on Morocco provides over 65 operational and
financial metrics for the Morocco wireless market. We cover quarterly
historical data starting in 1Q2004 and ending in 1Q2008. We also
provide four-year forecasts at the operator level going out to 2010.
Operators covered for Morocco include: Maroc Telecom, Medi Tel, and
Wana. Our Mobile Forecasts are updated quarterly and are available for
one-time delivery or through regular updates.

   Notable highlights of the 3Q08 Morocco Mobile Forecast include:

   - Total subscribers in Morocco will increase from our projected
22.9 million to a forecasted 26.4 million over the forecast period of
2008 - 2010. The wireless penetration level will increase from 73.6%
to 83.5%.

   - Our forecasts cover three major wireless operators in Morocco.
In 2010, we expect that Maroc Telecom, Medi Tel and Wana will serve
65.0%, 32.5% and 2.5% of the subscriber base in Morocco. With Wana
expanding the size of its operation, the leading player, Maroc
Telecom, will be losing its market share slightly. We forecast that
Maroc Telecom's market share will decrease from up to 66.4% in 2008 to
65.0% in 2010.

   - During the forecast period from 2008 to 2010, we think that
Maroc Telecom's share of net additions will fall from 65% to 50% while
that of Wana increases from 5% to 20%.

   - Maroc Telecom will continue to enjoy a high EBITDA margin at
61.3% while Medi Tel is forecasted to have a 44.9% EBITDA margin in
2010.

   - In 2010, Maroc Telecom is forecasted to register ARPU of US$
13.28 per month as opposed to US$ 7.97 for Medi Tel.
