Tehran: Iran is all
set to launch the first phase of its national internet in August,
a minister said.
Minister of Communications and Information Technology Reza
Taqipour said the pilot and first phases - titled phases "Zero and
One" - would be completed and be operational by late August, Press
TV reported.
Taqipour said the national internet will initially offer 8 Mb
high-speed broadband for home users. The customers will have 20 Mb
of bandwidth when the next phases of the internet network become
operational.
Also called the "Clean Web", the national internet project seeks
protection against the "loose commitment to ethics and morality"
across the World Wide Web.
Tehran has also undertaken a project to develop a national search
engine called "Ya Haq" by early 2012.
