The Internet In Iran
from the seems-like-the-internet-here dept
Here's an article looking at internet access in Iran. It's very popular, and surprisingly to many, it's completely uncensored. Even some of the more conservative Iranian clerics are apparently working on websites. It's also not hard to get high speed internet access in some places. It's true that a bunch of internet cafes were shut down, but that was mainly because of concerns for the national phone company, who was losing business to people using voice chat online at the cafes.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
