Irancell denied the definitive threat of the Internet

Irancell issued a statement denied the definitive threat of the Internet if the tariffs were not increased and described it as a misunderstanding of the company’s CEO’s statements.

In the last two days, news media called Irancell threats to internet cuts if tariffs were not increased; But Irancell’s company, while denying the issue, announced that Irancell’s CEO analysis on the future of the communications industry was mistakenly interpreted by the threat of internet interruption if they were not invested in the development of the network with the headline of a media.

Engineer Alireza Rafiei, CEO of Irancell Company on Sunday, August 26, 1404 had an interview with specialized media reporters in the field of information and communication technology and analyzed the future conditions of the communications industry. He warned of the consequences of investing in network development, saying that it was very difficult to invest in network development and increase the quality of the Internet for operators in the face of the country’s exposure to inflation and increase the exchange rate and increase network maintenance costs.

Rafiei went on to say that the Internet will be cut off, despite the lack of electricity and the inability to invest in battery supply and network maintenance and development. He also stressed that raising tariffs is not the only solution to the electricity problem, but it helps invest. Irancell CEO added that many meetings have been held on tariff reform and eventually, Irancell has no choice but to decide on tariffs. The Radio and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority is aware of our concerns and problems and has heard our analysis and is investigating this.

Alireza Rafiei pointed out that if tariffs were not modified, operators will not be able to invest and if there is no investment, we will not be able to increase the quality of the Internet and we should wait for the daily power outage, due to these shortages and impossibility of providing battery, and the internet will not be interrupted.

Irancell’s CEO’s threat to internet cuts, is incorrect

Finally, the misunderstanding and analysis of a media that was not present at the news conference led to the use of the “Irancell CEO’s threat to cut off the Internet”. Irancell, while thanking the specialized media in the field of technology who attended the news conference, as well as other media that reflected the above analysis, stresses that Irancell always committed itself to sustaining services and protecting the rights of subscribers and striving to improve the quality of its services. The operator does not provide any condition for continuing the service and continues to serve with all its might, and the deliberate internet is definitely relevant.
