There are no internets in Iran!

Post by Ron2K »

Slashdot wrote:Iran topped a recent list of repressive regimes that most aggressively restrict Internet freedom. The list, published by Reporters Without Borders, is a part of the 2012 edition of the organization's Enemies of the Internet report. One of the details addressed in that report is the Iranian government's bizarre plan to create its own 'clean' Internet. The proposed system, an insular nation-wide intranet that is isolated from the regular Internet, will be heavily regulated by the government. In addition to developing its own Intranet system, the Iranian government is also creating its own custom email service and a national search engine called Ya Haq (Oh Just One) that is intended to replace Google. In order to obtain an account on the state-approved mail service, users will have to register their identity with the government.

Given the history of their current government, who didn't see this one coming? (Though they are not the first; I believe that North Korea already has something like this in place.)

Al long as there is a network in place all is good, it won't be long till there is numerous unofficial breakouts to the real internet. Eg wifi links over the border, satellite, whatever. Its always easier to break out of a network than to break in.

Once again silly Muslim country is silly.
