Definitely not; All this time, your internet was international, but the creation of extensive disruptions has caused numerous restrictions, which in order to inform people about this situation, in simple language; The Internet was declared national because the description of the situation in technical language was without results, therefore, the nationalization of the Internet was for the understanding of certain age groups and common people.
In simpler language; The international internet means an opening for online communication with the world and cutting it off means being limited in the closed domestic space
In fact, the issue of national internet problems is much wider than these words!
for example; If you have an iPhone, you will not be able to log out of your iCloud (user account) because its servers are foreign and there is no international internet in Iran to connect, in fact you will never be able to factory reset your phone and on the contrary, you will never be able to buy a phone. connected to iCloud, while you will not even have any filter that can be connected to an external server
This was just an example! Many people think that national internet is like China!
but no.
The Internet is free in China, but their platforms are domestic, such as the WeChat application, which can be used even in other countries, including Iran.
So, they can communicate with people outside their country through this application
But is the Rubika application, which is supposed to be used in Iran as the main and public application, usable in other countries?!
You guessed it, absolutely
Having said that, our national internet can be an example of the state of North Korea. This means that our internal applications such as “Rubika”, which cannot be used even in other countries and is under the internal network, will officially cut off your connection with the outside world, and undoubtedly, to communicate with your relatives abroad, you can only call maybe) resort to
It was just last week that “Hajar Chenarani”, a member of the women’s faction of the parliament, announced: “The children of 5,400 officials are abroad.”
So again, the situation of ordinary people will be different from the situation of these officials, so that the dignitaries in charge will either have to bear the exorbitant cost of calls outside their country or, on the advice of the president, they will also go to their children…
Are you saying we will have Starlink internet?
The domestic internet does not only affect the internet space, but also like the example country; We should also expect economic, social, cultural, etc. effects, and this means that the borders of the country will experience more restrictions and more surveillance, and smuggling will no longer have any meaning!
Because there is no longer a way to exchange and a place to accept imported goods
for example; Given the condition of the iPhone, which is like a meat grinder in the circumstances, it is no longer importable…
National Internet will have a huge cost for Iran?
No, now receiving the international internet and disrupting it will cause huge costs, but if the national internet platform is implemented, all the data and lines will be internal and will not be connected to other countries, so the host of the internet will be the capital, and this will cost a lot of money for The country will return
There are many examples and examples to understand the domestic internet, but due to its difficult digestion, it was a good opportunity to briefly describe the internet by bringing up the issue of the disruptions of the last week, which of course is only a small part of the problems of the lack of international internet, and to complete the items. It can only be said that you have not experienced the national internet yet, and your current internet is still international, but the internet is full of disruptions that the government has to pay for.
