[governance] Iran's ministries to go offline: phase one of move to intranet society

[Fahd A. Batayneh]

I have a couple of friends from Iran, and while they suffer from low
Internet speeds and heavy censorship, there is a lot of innovation and
creativity devised along the lines. They manage to access almost any
content they wish; including Facebook and Porn content. They have some of
the best developers and hackers in the world, and I believe they have a
segment of their army devoted to hacking and developing.

While I am not a fan of censorship and having many "Internet's", I can see
more innovation along the lines. Let us see how reliable it the new network
can be.
