Answering questions on his performance at the Iranian parliament on Tuesday, Zarepour noted that more than 150 kilometers of cable was laid under the sea to this end, and fortunately, people of the three islands have access to stable internet.
The minister further referred to the launch of 600 sites with fifth-generation internet, saying that for the first time, the ministry sets the record of 6.5 terabits per second for domestic traffic, so people increased their usage of domestic platforms over the past year.
Nowadays, domestically-developed messengers became popular, he stated, arguing that over 40 million Iranians are utilizing domestic messengers. The ministry also designed a safe internet service for children.
Zarepour also mentioned that the progress of the national information network reached 62% from 23% at the beginning of the administration of President Ebrahim Raisi.
Touching on his ministry’s efforts to dodge the US-imposed sanctions on internet services, he said that Washington banned 100k widely used internet services for Iranian users, but the ministry tried to nullify the sanction; thus, the Iranian elite and programmers could utilize the services without requiring VPN service.
