"The domestic Intranet of Iran will be called "halal" which means pure and once it is activated the country will be shutting global web access to the 23 million internet users in the country."

Besides these rules, the government is also conducting various tests for a new countrywide network which is aimed at "substituting services" which operates through the internet. This move has lead to fears that the country is planning to withdraw itself from global internet.
Iran Begins Internet Crackdown, Preps Countrywide 'Halal' Intranet
Just before the parliamentary elections, to be held in March, Iran has decided to strictly control web users in the country by bringing some draconian rules to be implemented in cybercafes besides preparing to introduce a national intranet.
Residents of Iran are complaining that they are unable to connect to the Internet anonymously at Cyber Cafes in the country as government is creating a "censored" national intranet.
Just like North Korea.
The government of Iran, on Wednesday, introduced a new rule under which the residents of Iran must give their name along with their father's name, telephone number, address and national ID to log in to access internet, reported UPI.
In fact, just a week before the judiciary of Iran commented that the messages that are distributed through the social networks or e-mail asking for boycotting elections should be treated as "national security crimes".
The domestic Intranet of Iran will be called "halal" which means pure and once it is activated the country will be shutting global web access to the 23 million internet users in the country.
