Mehr: Presidential hopefuls turn a blind eye to Iran's digital dilemma

The issues plaguing Iran's internet and virtual space have been largely ignored by the country's presidential candidates, Mehr news agency said, according to Report.

In today's modern world, the virtual realm plays a crucial role. However, the presidential hopefuls have failed to address the pressing matters in this domain.

Internet users in Iran face persistent challenges related to quality and accessibility. “One of the primary concerns is the speed and stability of the internet network. Despite ongoing efforts to improve infrastructure, many areas of the country still lack access to high-speed, reliable internet services,” Mehr said.

The lack of high-speed internet connectivity in Iran can hinder the proper and efficient implementation of a wide range of online services. It also has the potential to disrupt the use of content tools, e-commerce platforms, and communication channels, further widening the digital divide.
