In 2008, over 64 per cent of the population had more than one mobile phone in their households, compared to 48 per cent in 2005. The introduction of customer loyalty plans, the downward trend in prices and the enhancement of service offerings over the last two years have further boosted mobile telephony. As of June 2008, the mobile penetration rate had risen to 69.4 per cent, as against 57.8 per cent in June 2007. In the fixed-line telephony segment, 3G telecommunications licences have been granted to two operators, Méditel and Wana. The data on fixed-line telephony published by the national telecommunications regulator ANRT in March 2008 indicate a fixed-line penetration rate of about 13.3 per cent, with the number of subscribers rising from 1.62 million in March 2007 to over 2.71 million in March 2008. In 2009 Morocco entered the Gartner top 30 list for the first time, thanks to its population's language skills and cultural compatibility, especially with regard to the French-speaking markets in Europe. Morocco opened its doors to offshoring in July 2006, as one component of the development initiative Plan Emergence, and has so far attracted roughly half of the French-speaking call centres that have gone offshore so far and a number of the Spanish ones. In 2007 the country had about 200 callcentres, including 30 of significant size, that employ a total of over 18,000 people. The future of the Moroccan IT sector was laid out in M@roc 2006-12, an initiative by the Moroccan government. The plan aims to increase the combined value of the telecoms and IT sector from Dh24bn ($3.1bn) in 2004 to Dh60bn ($7.8bn) in 2012. In 2009 Morocco announced it will create a commission for the protection of personal data. The move comes as the country is seeking to adapt the laws pertaining to the treatment of personal data, to those of the EU. This is expected to strengthen its offshoring and outsourcing market. In recent years the government also launched several science parks, and areas dedicated to BPO and IT.
