Iran pans US-designed “internet in a suitcase”

According to the regime’s official sources, over eight thousand members of the Basij militia have been assigned the task of finding ways to combat the new technology, in what is being called a ‘soft cyber war.’ The technology provides for an independent server that no other telecommunications source can control, monitor or disable

Shahrzad News:The Iranian regime has reacted furiously against the US government’s introduction of “internet in a suitcase” technology. This aims to provide internet and mobile-phone services to countries whose repressive governments are trying to silence public dissent, bypassing such regimes’ attempts to shut down or block access to these means of communication.

According to the regime’s official sources, over eight thousand members of the Basij militia have been assigned the task of finding ways to combat the new technology, in what is being called a ‘soft cyber war.’ The technology provides for an independent server that no other telecommunications source can control, monitor or disable. Its components can easily be sent to foreign countries and assembled to deliver wireless services in a wide range of media, including audio and visual files and text and email messages. As such, it has been referred to as the ‘invisible web.’

The development of this new technology has been a top priority for US software engineers trying to support democracy movements in the Arab world. The Tunisian, Egyptian and Libyan governments have all cracked down on people who use the internet to organise dissent.
