Let’s see what the Iranians are up to this time:

Iran hopes to launch four more satellites by 2010, the government has said, to increase the number of land and mobile telephone lines to 80 million from 22 million and expand the number of Internet users to 35 million from 5.5 million in the next five years.

All well and good, but why, if you want to increase the number of Internet users, do you implement thinband? And who’s helping them? None other than the Russians.
Nothing else to add to that; we all know how to add 2 plus 2.
