There has been some discussion and even false claims in the media and
\non-line channels about our provision of network monitoring services to
\nthe government of Iran. The facts are that we have provided a mobile
\ncommunications network not to the government, but to MCCI, the mobile
\narm of the Iranian national operator that, as in every other country
\ntoo, has the capability for monitoring of domestic voice calls. This
\ncapability is a built-in feature of all GSM switches sold by every
\nvendor, everywhere in the world. However, contrary to media reports,
\ndata and internet monitoring is not provided at all.<\/p>\n
Almost every telecoms network in the world is required by law to have
\nthe capability to monitor domestic voice calls. However, the use of
\nvoice call monitoring is mostly used only in exceptional cases,
\ntypically in fighting crime, and is always subject to specific
\npermission granted by the national authorities. The fact is that under
\nthe telecoms regulations of most countries, without this network
\nmonitoring feature, there can be no network and as a result no mobile
\ncommunication between people in that country or with others outside its
\nborders.<\/p>\n
It is important to look at what being able to communicate has meant to
\nthe people of Iran, where already over two-thirds of the people have
\nmobile phones. Thanks to the internet and mobile phone technology, the
\noutside world is able to follow events in Iran in real time. Iranians,
\nregardless of political leaning, can communicate with friends and
\nrelatives outside of the country.<\/p>\n
There is also a great deal of evidence that points to mobile telephony
\nbeing a crucial factor in economic development, social welfare and
\ndemocracy. Providing people with the means to communicate is of great
\nbenefit, for mature and developing economies alike. Regarding the
\nquestion of which countries we do business in, we strictly follow the
\nguidelines of the United Nations and international laws on trade
\nrestrictions.<\/p>\n
