dear compatriots , thank you very much for your cooperation. i invite you to continue watching the special news talk tonight, performed by my colleague mrs. emami . last nights they accompany us in tonight's special news talk about the development of the fiber network. let's talk about the light of the country and its effect on the digital economy. i hope you will join us. follow the report and discussion of this program on the khabar network.

the development of the country's fiber network is the development of the infrastructure of the digital economy, or if we want to use farsi , the development of the infrastructure of the ethnic economy is the year 1400 . the issue of fiber optic development in the country. where are we in this issue and in this area , how is the future vision defined, what are the challenges based on, and what plans have been made to solve them, and the cooperation of the institutions to realize and what is the status of the completion of this topic ? tonight's discussion has a special news discussion dedicated to itself . i would like to introduce you to the guests of this program: mr. engineer reza bagheri, the original deputy minister

of parliament and provincial government affairs, and of course the deputy minister in the digital economy commission. along with mr. dr. mehdi rouhaninejad, vice president of strategy and market development of regulatory and communications organization of radio mr. bagheri , i greet you . you are very welcome. may the blessed days of the month of rajab be blessed everyone , mr. rouhaninejad, welcome to the special news interview studio , in the name of allah, rahman, and rahim. i also say hello to your excellency and dear viewers. i hope that we will have a good conversation with you about the development of the country's fiber optic network and its impact on the digital economy or ethnic economy. tell me the necessity of development and the effect it will have on the ethnic economy of the country. how is it defined in

the working group that was formed in the year 1400, in order to realize this issue, i should mention for the introduction that the special working group for the digital economy was formed with the approval of the honorable board of ministers and the powers that resulted from the articles 127 and 138 of the constitution, the ministers under the honorable minister aisi t and the rest of the ministers and their members, as well as two of the presidential vice-presidents, the minister of information , the honorable minister of science, the honorable minister of culture and islamic rashad are among the members of the working group . we have several committees in the working group. one of our most important committees is the infrastructure committee based on the approvals we had. in the working group and definition of what to do.

in this committee, we followed up on what challenges we have for the development of the digital economy. one of the main points was that our access network has weaknesses , and if we want to cover these weaknesses, we need the best technology for our future infrastructure. it provides optical fiber, in any case, the mobile network or mobile phone network has its weaknesses , it has limitations, it has frequency limitations , it has limitations, now it has an antenna, and their communication is sometimes done by radio, the quality of which is not very suitable, the ability to expand more than they don't have fiber, it was a platform that provided us to upgrade our access network and in big cities where the network platform is transmitted , he said to have a more stable one for the development of bandwidth. we can you when we use peak days

, we should use the days that are highly consumed. sometimes the quality of the image will decrease due to the limitations of the access network . we are forced to increase our bandwidth. this is one of those uses, or for example , digital health, which we just passed yesterday by the digital economy commission in relation to the resolution titled digital health care. if we want to transfer laboratory images or radiography images, we need we have more bandwidth this band is in the platform of people's access network between doctors. the system and the people here need to improve the quality of our network. this is one of the infrastructures that were examined in that committee, data centers, fast processing centers, and most of the infrastructures that

are defined for the national information network were followed up for the economy. we are doing digital in this subcommittee . mr. dr. rouhaninejad, where are we on the path of development? according to what has been done, by the horizon of 1404, 80% of the country's population, which can be about 20 million households , will be covered by this fiber network. until now, we have covered more than 5,200,000 households, which is about 16 million houses of the country's population. we put a cover, that is, two years is enough for about 15 million opportunities. yes , you see, in order to consider that level in reality, last year when we started at the beginning of last year, there were 1 million households. million

, then within 7 months, another million from 3 a million became 5 million, which means that the last 14 months became 7 months and that's it. within the next two months, another ten million will be added, that is, this network and this process that has been accelerated in the operations that have started in the cities, and the planning that we have done will definitely reach the goal that will happen, so that the dear people in mind to be honest, we have now considered more than 330 cities for drilling and construction activities , 200 cities are now being served, which means people can. in fact , use fiber services in these cities. you give us an example, for example where has been completed, where is it in the stage of completion and where is it going to be completed , i am interested to see, for example, in hormozgan province, we have a quarter port, an area that is almost deprived, the whole

city is covered, in mazandaran province, chalus city , neka city, at your service. the cities in mazandaran province are in fars shahr province. in the central province of saveh, these are the cities that we recently opened, and all the cities are covered . god willing, the dawn of the city will be like bafq in yazd province. greetings to you khoi and selmas in west azarbaijan province. greetings in lorestan province. that is, the cities that may not be the capital of the province in that sense, fortunately , more than 100 cities of sarkar khanum emami kamel are fully covered by this network. it is covered and now all the people of this hundred cities can receive this service in all its parts with minimum cost. in fact, this is a very important point for the people that we have this service that can download nearly a thousand megabytes per second. people

, we are providing it at a very low cost, that is, fiber technology has the difference compared to the previous technology , that the speed is almost 100 times, that is, if you id have it at home now. your average speed is between 10 and 12 megabits per second. with fiber, it reaches close to 1000 at a very low price, and in the regions of my country , this means that the speed will increase and the quality will increase. if we want to say it in a more normal language, and the services that are received are at a reasonable and normal cost , yes, yes, i say in the city

, it was that we started all the cities together , we could have started from the big cities, and this prioritization is from your point of view. it is in the shirt. the one that is related to means because in fact the issue is that everyone people should benefit, that's why we started from small towns, which means that this is the difference that the planning is for this service. this technology created, these measures were always started from big cities, and this time from small cities , so let's see a report together , let's come back and talk more about this issue , especially the digital economy , it was december 1400 that the minister of communications promised until the end of the 13th government, the national fiber network development plan should be implemented , fiber to homes or fiber to points. we put it on the agenda that, god willing, we can do 20

let's start the high-speed million prat everywhere in the country. the implementation of this project started in march of 1400 and now 9 communication companies, including iran telecommunication company, irancell, shuttle, fanap, asiatech, hiweb, pishgaman, sebant mobin net, are participating in its implementation and each province and city in country. they have accepted 7 million pert until the end of the honorable 13th government for us to consider that this 7 million coverage will be done. in most of the 20 million coverage that the honorable minister said, we have agreed that 5 million will actually be shared between the household and the business. let's put it under the cover of optical fiber 15 cities have been assigned to us and we can implement them. most of which are in west azarbaijan province and busheh province and around tehran in kermanshah provinces

, chaharmahal bakhtiari province, part of isfahan province, part of fars province, and part of mazandaran province. to date, the web includes about four provinces as part of its definite commitments and it must be fulfilled. having almost completed two provinces , the other two provinces, which are kerman and sistan-baluchestan , also have a commitment that they must be completed by the end of 1403 . if an operator does not fulfill his commitment , those commitments will be taken away and given to another operator, and because we give incentives to operators in exchange for fulfilling these commitments , operators are willing to be able to fulfill their commitments and receive incentives and even the commitment of other operators. receive do it and attract more easterners. from the ministry of communication and technology, the commitment of 20

million coverage in the 13th government is the first step, and in the seventh plan, it is predicted that we will have 20 million connections by the end of the seventh plan, so the first step has been like this in all countries of the world. that the first step is to create a cover and the second step is to convert the covers into connections and implement this existing plan. the internet speed is stable and the internet load is reduced, and it has resulted in people's satisfaction. the tower is generally fiber and it has been very good since the beginning . we are completely satisfied with its speed . work at manazel for more detailed information on how to cover optical fiber to the website at the address of iran. if an operator has created coverage

, by selecting the operator, the user will be directed to the port of the desired operator and can go through the port the operator should take action to purchase its service . the 13th government plans to fulfill the 20 million promise of covering 10 million by the end of this year. the principle of satisfaction in receiving services in the provinces that are completed or in the completion of the project , let's talk about the quality. well, in your report, it is very well mentioned that those who have experience, for example , suppose that they have copper wire, we say 16 except with vidsl. for example, 30, which does not take, will never come to the end. we get 100 megabits per second, so it's very interesting to download a movie that is, for example, several minutes long

sometimes it takes more time, it is done in a few seconds . well, the attractions of the fiber network are the next generations of mobile phones, which we hope to be able to do with the support of the people from that country. finally , the repairs are being done at everyone's homes . the mayors are helping, the governors are helping. they are helping, something positive will happen that dr. rouhaninejad will explain and will continue to say these charms that you mentioned. it is certainly accompanied by challenges, whether in the stage that has been passed or in the upcoming time period and in the upcoming plans, the most important challenges that are now which ones are you facing? because we have a guest on the phone. yes, one of those basic points regarding the improvement of the quality of the aircraft in flight is being repaired and it can be said that there is an improvement . did you hear a report recently published regarding the quality of the internet ? let's assume that we are actually providing services along with the development of the network

, we are also upgrading, well, besides that, we had a series of resource supply challenges. we had the addition of new operators, the operators who are cooperating, and the ones themselves in the provinces should be heptaris the work of the mayors is helping them, by the grace of god, we are included in the province of dara , to accompany the mayors of hundreds of countries , 330 municipalities have signed contracts, but we have 1400 municipalities, we have 128 1400 municipalities, all of them must cooperate with us so that we are a the first phase is to dig the cover. it is necessary to complete the second phase according to the law of the connection program , establishing the connection itself is another process , the financing of the donation was done by the government with the support of the honorable parliament. in the law of the program, a special fund has been established for it. it will be another part. drilling and operational work that requires a lot of coordination

and requires people to accompany them, including governors and mayors. sometimes we may get help from the ministry for connection . it is a civil work and the area of ​​the country is a very important point , it usually takes 10 years.

to have the necessary coordination, of course, the council is excellent virtual space as an upstream device. it can play this role of coordination very well, and on the other hand, we have to define a series of applications for this fiber network, because naturally people need a series of new services and contents to use this technology and this service. again, the supreme council of virtual space can have a very legal role in this matter , that is, the new definition of applications. yes , see a series of applications that did not exist before. in 2013-2014, the third generation of mobile phones came, the fourth generation came after it, then a series of services were defined according to it which did not exist before, such as electric taxis and the like, well, the fiber that comes brings its own applications and services, naturally , virtual space should play a role in this field , so that companies and start-ups who want

to invest in this matter can safely do so. mr. jalili , i greet you , you are accompanying us in the form of a video. i hope you have a good time. creating more coordination between the devices that accept responsibilities and duties . new, yes, hello i would like to serve you and all dear viewers, to serve my dear guests . hello, i would like to say that the role of supreme council of cyber ​​space from the areas mentioned by dear guest, this is a very important point that the inclusion of services from health to education , transportation, buying and selling, and many services that people need in normal life is defined in the form of digital economy, the presence of the private sector and infrastructure.

the very good communication that has been provided by the 4th and 5th generation of mobile phones in the last few minutes has practically affected the people and people's lives are intertwined with these services, including the services considered by the supreme space council. virtual, the national center of cyberspace is definitely creating coordination in the form of regulation, in the form of policy making , in the form of approvals that are needed , it should be done with the good agility that is considered, which , alhamdulillah, is being done, the meetings of the supreme council of cyberspace are held regularly. the secretary the supreme council brings the issues to the shura and this issue, alhamdulillah, is well coordinated between the various government departments, sometimes the judiciary and even

the judiciary, so that the three branches of government in the digital economy should be opened so that we can provide services to all of them. dear people to have what i wanted to add to the question you asked is that the digital economy needs a communication infrastructure , an information infrastructure, a software infrastructure , a legal infrastructure , user privacy infrastructure, and a few other infrastructures, that is, it is a set of components that our discussion tonight is more about the communication infrastructure, which is honestly one level lower than the infrastructure , and without it, the rest of the infrastructure will

not function properly. it is widespread in the country and this is a space that , god willing , will improve our communication speed tens of times within the national information network. we can provide service quality along with speed, god willing. we will have a very good communication in the shade of fiber in the national information network. thank you. mr. jalili , you talked about quality and, of course, adding it to the issue of speed. definitely, regarding this issue , what should be the level of virtual space from the supreme council's point of view. but before that , you mentioned the report that

was published about the quality of the internet. do you have an explanation? yes, a report our friends in the private sector, due to their own experience , published a few months ago , there was a very good cooperation. i think that in the virtual space, viewers can follow the continuous meetings between our technical colleagues and the technician who prepared the report . it is mentioned in this new report that many of the problems that can be said now are caused by the same thing i said, the plane is in flight , it is being overhauled and its quality is being improved, those reforms were made that should have been continued in the recent report , unfortunately, something happened that was highlighted in that part, which is significant. thank you, but one part others have been mentioned in this report , which seems to be able to speak more accurately and expertly, for example, 48 foreign platforms or sites have been disrupted so far, out of

the 48 platforms that have been disrupted. 35 of those platforms have been refined , 30 of them have been refined in previous governments, 5 during this government, by whom, by whom, by the ministry of communications, and by determining the examples or subordinate authorities that have permission to do this. they are the executors of those decisions, so you can't call it a disturbance , the more interesting point is that it can be called a ratio in the report disruption there are 13 and 14 platform portals that have sanctioned our country. some of them are platforms . when we enter them, a message will appear saying that your country's ip address is blocked. well, this cannot be called a disruption, and my friends , we are also writing letters. we followed up on the fact that they couldn't reopen because of the sanctions and those additional sanctions on top of the cruel sanctions against iran. the sanctions on knowledge and technology or the internet can be added anyway. this incident makes us unable to look at this report. let's refer to it

where we need to improve now interactions had to be established in two directions . based on those meetings, we were supposed to compile some indicators together, and based on that , we could improve and measure more easily, anyway, the ministry of communication. last year, there was no national outage in any way. even if you remember, there was a discussion about the entrance examination. there were requests to interrupt the entrance examination due to the security of the ministry of communications . we did not have a nationwide and the most important thing is that we are fully prepared like the private sector in the case of revision in the polishing of some platforms , those that have the ability to be opened, we should accompany them and follow up with the working group to determine the cases of other authorities so that they can be opened, this

will happen with empathy, i hope we have this empathy mr. dr. jalil regarding privacy also, saying this point is a very important issue in my opinion. the economy is becoming digital. in the third layer , agriculture is our health industry. now there was a company whose food was actually food delivery or food delivery. the information was leaked. if it was health information , it can be said that something bad will happen. it fell and accordingly i think the national center has also issued a decree or notification that all digital platforms should pay attention to. besides improving the quality of our services, we should also improve the quality of people's information security . we used both digital and digital during our conversation. that the working group has named the digital economy on the working group , but in the special discussion, due to the protection of the persian language, we have always used the ethnic term, mr. dr. rouhaninejad, referring to the sanctions

on knowledge and technology. we will see how much internal infrastructure is used in this plan. how much capacity did we do? we used knowledge-based companies . our time is short, two minutes, please. in this new project, one of the salient features is that more than 70-80% of the costs are done through knowledge-based companies or domestic companies . it has a special feature, we actually buy a lot of the so-called passive equipment inside the country , making a contract that needs to be used and the like , and even the active equipment has been used in some places at least from domestic companies, and this is increasing, that is, the planning that we what we have done is to be able to increase this percentage in the future but now, since it is the end of the program , regarding the issue of challenges, as you mentioned, mr. baghiras , you also mentioned, see, i said that the speed of the project is now increasing, fortunately, we

have obtained the permits for almost half of the country's population, but, well , the cooperation of more municipalities is needed. as an example, golestan province is the first province whose entire city is covered because of the very good cooperation between the governorate and the provincial authorities. if other provinces also cooperate with us , naturally the people of that city and that province can benefit. one minute, mr. jalili is a summary final short i am happy that this discussion has started here, according to the field observations that i had in some small towns , that the floor of the main streets has finally been removed for fab. national by using fiber technology, which

is an error-tolerant technology, we wish to have a very reliable technology and this infrastructure is the main infrastructure with other software information infrastructures and, god willing , we have independence from other non-national infrastructures through this fiber optic network. good luck to the dear government of the ministry of communications and dear ones . thank you, mr. jalili . thank you, mr. bagheri . tonight's news and as always , thank you for your good company. good night and god bless you.

muhammad, hello, dear and respected viewers of the world, in the name of god, the most merciful, the most merciful, god bless you, welcome today, minister of foreign affairs, in the continuation of the bilateral meetings on the sidelines of the world economic forum with the foreign ministers of georgia, slavani , the special representative of the secretary general of the united nations.
