IPTV Surges in Popularity Among Moroccan TV Viewers Despite Legal Concerns

Accessible to all budgets, this digital tool par excellence allows its users to benefit from all the ranges of football, cinema and documentary channels, reports La Map. Unlike the monthly subscription system contracted with private structures that offer limited subscription packages, IPTV offers a wide range of channels at a cost that defies all competition, even if its use poses a problem of legality.

For Mourad. B, IPTV subscription seller and technician in Kenitra, this recent technological revolution in the world of television is experiencing great success in Morocco and elsewhere. According to him, internet television is in high demand on the market, especially by an increasingly seduced clientele. This business generates significant revenue and stable turnover for him over the past few years.

According to the specialist, the subscriptions are renewable each year. In addition to his role as a technician, he also serves as an interface between users and the IPTV service provider, often based abroad (China or elsewhere). Faced with the difficulties of some clients in mastering the use of this service, Moudad ensures that the latter are forced to call on a reseller to access these multiple international television channels.

"The operation is simple, the client installs the application on his television, takes a photo of the displayed MAC address and goes to the reseller to pay the annual subscription, once back in the comfort of his home, the application is already running and can therefore enjoy hundreds of HD channels as well as a wide selection of VOD movies that are updated over time," he recalls.

The price of subscriptions varies between 150 and 500 dirhams per year. He also adds that the renewal operation is easily done through the screen, once the relationship of trust between the client and the seller is established. He also accompanies the clients in choosing the best internet connection formula to fully enjoy these international channels.
