Iran : National Internet and national search engine 'Ya Haq'

                 
  Iran is set to launch its national Internet in August in an effort to provide Iranians with faster and safer and more reliable internet that is also more compatible with Farsi language .
                       According to Irans minister of communication the project's Phases Zero and One would be completed and operational in August. According to him the state-run national Iranian internet will initially provide with home users 8mbps speed broadband internet and they will have 20mbps speed once the next phase of the national internet comes into stream .
                       Also called clean or halal internet the national internet will be more based to provide Iranians more access to Farsi content as most of Iranians aren't good enough at English and to give protection against the loose commitment to ethics and morality across the World Wide Web. According to information minister quote “The national internet will not limit access for users. It will instead empower Iran and protect its society from cultural invasion and threats.” According to Iran other muslim countries will also be invited to join the internet .

            Tehran has also undertaken a project to develop a national search engine dubbed "Ya Haq" by early 2012 . According to Iranian sources the new search engine will be much faster and efficient than Google and Yahoo search in searching Farsi content and the results displayed will be more accurate. 
The domain for the search engine might be    یا حق.ir     .
