Gov’t Reports on NIN Projects

Iran’s Ministry of Information and Communications Technologies has established over 80% of the infrastructure of the National Information Network, a deputy ICT minister says.
During a Wednesday meeting on the ministry’s performance, Deputy ICT Minister Hamid Fattahi said, “NIN’s components include infrastructure, cyber policies, platforms, ecosystem and content. The development of each helps the completion of NIN project,” IRNA reported.
NIN was launched in August 2016 as an alternative and independent network with content compatible with Islamic values to facilitate Iranian users’ access to indigenous content.
“National Information Network’s infrastructure has been developed by up to 80%, through the expansion of fiber optic connections, establishment of communication stations and towers, and a surge in the number of data processing racks and datacenters,” Fattahi added.
