Country-wide Intranet
This country-wide Intranet that the Telecom officials in Iran are talking about worries me. They probably have concluded that filtering has not been effective enough and are seeking the ultimate solution: disconnecting ordinary Iranians from the Net, while they can access anything with the Iran-wide Intranet.
The project is called Shaareh 2 by the way.

Hello Hossein! This is Marco from Italy; we had a (email)-talk some time ago. As soon as I knew about this bloggers'demonstration, I felt I had to give my help.
Few hours and many italian bloggers are already talking about it. We'll see. Stay in touch.

Don't you think it will be like the satellites? They don't allow them, but a lot of people have them? BTW: I worked in Iran for more than a year and we couldn't have done our jobs without the internet. And I think that also goes for Iranian companies doing international business. So,to keep the (international)companies happy, to keep the economy up a bit,they have to give them access I think and so this will be a way for "normal people" to get access too?

Congrats on the attention and good luck with your efforts.
