History

On 23 May 2016, Mobilis was the first operator in Algeria to be provisionally granted a license to launch 4G network.^[4] It was officially launched on 1 October 2016 in Ouargla and Hassi Messaoud,^[5] and extended to other provinces: Tlemcen, Constantine, Batna, Bordj Bou Arreridj, El Oued, Biskra, Boumerdès, Tipaza, Blida, Tizi Ouzou and Sidi Bel-Abbès, on 21 December 2016.^[6]

In 2017, Mobilis held 40.06% of the country's total mobile telephony market share, with 10,204,002 3G subscriber and no less than 3,505,803 4G subscriber (47.26% and 35.53% market share, respectively).^[7]

In March 2023, Mobilis chairman Chawki Boukhazani was being investigated by Algeria's internal security service, which suspected him of involvement in illegal contract awards.^[8] He was subsequently arrested in front of Mobilis headquarters and imprisoned, and later was released.^[9]^[10]
