Morocco Plans to Launch Third Generation GSM in September

Morocco said Tuesday it wishes to launch next September, in a world premiere, a network of third generation GSM.

The announcement was made by Moroccan secretary of state in charge of post and information and communication technologies, Nasr Hajji, at the opening of an international telecom fair (Telecom Maroc 2002).

The network will be launched at the plenipotentiary conference of the International Telecommunications Union, to be held September 23 through October 18 in Marrakesh.
