Report: ISP now blocking online games in Morocco due to VoIP ban

Word is spreading this week that Maroc Telecom, one of the largest Internet service providers in Morocco, has blocked access to Steam and many online games as it tightens its existing ban on VoIP (voice over IP) traffic.

This week Maroc Telecom added a few more free online VoIP services to its “banned” list, and that’s when many people started complaining about being unable to access servers for games like Dota 2 and Paladins.

Notably, for anyone outside of Morocco this outcry shines a light on the state of the African nation’s access to online games and technologies.
