Inwi

Inwi (Arabic: إنوي) (formerly known as Wana) is a telecommunications company in Morocco. One of the three major Internet service providers in the country, it is a subsidiary of the Moroccan holding Al Mada and the Kuwaiti group Zain.

With more than 380 branches, Inwi is the third largest telecommunications company in Morocco, after Maroc Telecom and Orange. Inwi's network covers more than 92% of the country's territory.

Based in Casablanca, Wanadoo Maroc was created in 1999, by Karim Zaz. In 2004 and following the withdrawal of France Telecom, Wanadoo Morocco sold its subsidiary Maroc Connect to local investors: Attijariwafa bank and Caisse de dépôt nationale via its subsidiary, Fipar holding.

In 2005, ONA became the reference shareholder of Maroc Connect. In 2006, Maroc Connect won the third 3G license in Morocco.

In 2007, Maroc Connect became Wana, the third operator for home telephones and 3G internet. In 2009, Wana wins the third GSM license in Morocco under its Inwi brand. In February, the Kuwaiti consortium Zain/Alajial takes control of 31% of Inwi's capital.

A year after its launch, Inwi reported five million customers in February 2010 and 13.5% of market shares in December 2010.

In March 2015, Wana obtained its 4G license for the Inwi brand. The Brand had the best rating according to the criteria set by the ARNT (Coverage commitment, quality of service and business plan for the deployment of high and very high speed broadband in Morocco).

The decision of ARNT to block the VoIP provoked a campaign of online protests against various Moroccan operators, including Inwi, in 2016. The company reacted by withdrawing from the sponsorship of the Maroc Web Awards and started the development of an application to use VoIP services.
