Afghan Government Turns To Iran For Internet

Posted by Soulskill on from the access-of-evil dept.

Barlaam writes "Renesys describes new evidence that the Iranian national telecommunications provider, DCI, is selling (uncensored?) Internet connectivity to customers in neighboring Iraq and Afghanistan. 'The Internet connectivity outreach that we now see in the global routing tables seems like continuing evidence of Iran's long-term strategy: aggressively pursuing bilateral infrastructure and investment projects with its neighbors, in ways that will increase Iran's regional influence after the Americans have moved on.'"

    I'm sure they don't censor criticism of the Iranian government (see Green Revolution).

    Indeed, "Islamo-facists" is such and idiotic term... That is why there is the perfectly valid word "Islamist". Look it up (Islamism), Wikipedia is your friend.
