Maroc Telecom (IAM, Arabic: اتصالات المغرب) is the main telecommunications company in Morocco.
[1][2] Currently employing around 11,178 employees, it is the largest telecommunications network in the country with 8 regional delegations and 220 offices present across Morocco.
In 1913, the Moroccan Postal Telephone and Telegraph was established before a Dahir (King's decree) related to the monopoly of the state of Telegraphy and Telephony was published.
Due to the advancement of telecommunications around the globe, Morocco decided to create a new entity called the Office National des Postes et Télécommunications (ONPT) to manage the industry.
On 20 February 2001, the Moroccan government sold 35% of Maroc Telecom's shares to French mass media company Vivendi.

In July 2006, Maroc Telecom signed with the French telecommunications equipment company Alcatel a contract for a submarine communications cable connection between Morocco and France.
