Under ISLAM you will gain more freedom by having the ISLAMIC REGIME remove the internet for you. This way you will start doing your mandatory prayers every day and if you are found not to obey the Koran, you will be beheaded as a warning they say.

Such wonderful Religion of Peace.

Just like North Korea... Wow.  That's a great example to copy.  It should be good on preventing average Iranians from learning what's really going on in and around their country.  That sounds more like what will really happen.  Somehow, I think even after they establish an intranet, the same Iranian propaganda cut & paste agents will be all over RT, CNN, NYT, MSNBC, and all the other news sources Iran propaganda agents like to spam. =========== ==================== ==============Wow, what a cretin.  Every major nation has a fully segregated network for miliatary and other core secret networks.  Even banks go this far.  They are catching up with security because they've been targeted by a number of malware attacks recently.  They'd be braindead not to.  This has no impact on the population's internet access.  They're just segregating national security from public internet, which should have been done from the start!I am a security consultant, btw, I'm not just making it all up, this is just a reasonable thing to do.Of course, if we find out that its just a cover for actually installing a 'great firewall of iran' in the process, that's a different matter and would be bad.  But that is quite a leap of faith from the report which has far more rational explanations.

This is of cause the only sensible thing to do! If you read the article you will find that Iranian's does not intend to shut down the Internet for others than the computer systems in connection with the government's various departments and replace it with an intranet! And in this group I "guess" they will also assign the computer sytems that control their nuclear facilities! That I'll guess is done along time ago in every country that have a reasonable awakened and inteligent computer system security crew! Now this does not nessasary mean that the Security forces and all government employee's will be cut off from the Internet everywhere! But just deny access to the web, in places that are vital to important functions that a society needs to funtion properly! And espessially after beeing exposed to cyberattacs that have been causing destruction of hardware and a sofware mess and hangups! Just remember that these malware/viruses and trojans can lay hidden for a long time, before it is programmed to selfstart its destructive task!
