Really? I doubt you have ever had even a personal weblog! What you're saying is laughable. Do you know what bandwidth means?
People buy bandwidth from their web host not from US. If you host your personal weblog on your own machine, then you need not pay anyone for bandwidth. When you register for a domain name, you need not necessarily register with the 'US'. Choose a .ir domain and your domain is safely within Iran(
link).
I'm not an expert in the field of computer science or radio communications and bandwidth is technically used for different concepts in signal processing and other fields, but just like orbits around the earth that have regulations and each country has its own share of the available registered orbits around the earth in GEO, the same regulations exist in the internet. Inside every country, the ISPs have to register a range of frequency for themselves and that is regulated by the telecommunication organization in the country. In a larger scale, when you want to have a share of the internet you must buy it and there are international regulations for that that I'm not fully aware of.
Exactly! then you just need to buy bandwidth from
your ISP(with a server at home). Your ISP is answerable only to the Iranian law. Now you are safe. The dns registry of .ir domain is
Iranian and bound by Iranian laws only.
So you think to make up a big network you only need to have routers, a bunch of fibers extended across the country and that's it? Really?
The short answer is 'YES'. The internet is designed to work in parts. There may be problems of scale and the root level servers but they are not significant. At least all .ir websites will be accessible if Iran cuts itself off from the rest of the world.
Iran doesn't want to cut off the internet, it wants to create a parallel network inside the country beside the internet. Do you understand the difference now?
Ok, good to know that the current internet will not be disconnected. I will reserve my comments until we know how exactly they want to do it.
In all countries internet is somehow related to the USA. Let me explain it to you this way, forget about data centers. When you type an address in your browser, you type English alphabets and numbers with a suffix like .com, but I hope you know that such a thing is completely nonsense and meaningless in a network. In the internet (or even in a LAN) each server/client has a given address which is called IP (internet protocol), that's where the concept of a domain comes from. To make things easier and to make it possible for ordinary users to get connected to a server/client in a network, you could give a system in the network a name like defence.pk, then when you refer to that server/client this given name is translated into its IP, in fact simple words, I'm explaining to you what a Domain Name Server does. Now, there are regulations and international companies that register domains. I don't mean the resellers like godaddy that have been accredited by ICANN or other giant companies, but I mean a company like ICANN itself. Here is a good introduction to what ICANN does:
Even today, when you want to buy bandwidth or register a .com/.net/.org/etc domain you are in someway buying it from the USA. The USA has dominance over the internet in many ways, from giant private companies that impose regulations on the internet and have so much power over it to smaller countries that are called data centers and are still way bigger than what you could imagine.
Read above. If you think .com and .net have too much US involvement, then use .ir.
No one is going to replace TCP. It seems you're totally lost I think. Let me explain it this way to you, suppose you're setting up a LAN (Local Area Network) for your home, you're certainly using TCP/IP but as long as your LAN is not connected to the internet it's isolated from it. got it? If you've ever set up a simple LAN, you know that it's not really that easy. Now suppose such a thing must be done in a much larger scale something like a MAN or you might even call it a WAN. Iran isn't going to invent new protocols and replace TCP/IP for example, that's possible but unnecessary, but Iran is going to create a safe network which is isolated from the internet. This guarantees the safety of the important data that is transmitted inside Iran's national network in many ways.
It's not a hoax, It's what already taking place.
Everyone knows it, I wonder how you don't know it.
I guess these two quotes prove my point:
Again I will reserve my comments until we know more.
Linus Torvalds successfully cracked Unix codes and wrote his own kernel for a new OS which is now called Linux. Does it make sense now?
OMG man, Linus Torvalds cracked UNIX and made Linux?!! Why is he not in jail then?
Because Linux was written from scratch. Because 'hacking' is not what you think it is, at least as mentioned in Linus Torvalds bio. Either that or you just don't want to give credit to a man for his unprecedented achievement. This is another part of the mindset I see in third world and muslim countries that is hampering progress. You don't want to give credit to anyone other than conspirators.
FYI Linux has an entirely independent code base and whatever allegations were made on 'copying' UNIX code chunks are not even pieces of code written by Torvalds. I think the other guys also did not copy anything. The UNIX guys are just being b*tches about it.
You don't need to
crack UNIX to build a UNIX like system. There is already plenty of documentation on how to do it.
Oh! I forgot to answer the
best part of your post:
You can repeat it as many as you want, but what you call it mail server ownership is very different than what I call it mail server ownership. I explain this point again to clarify things up.
It's really not so hard to create a mail server, all you need to do is to register a domain like Arian.com (It's not available though
) and then you'll need a space to host your files on it, in this case you'll need enough space to host the emails of the members on it. It's really easy to build a mail server now, just write an application that co-operates with Cpanel, Cpanel (even very old versions of Cpanel) has this feature that the owner of any host on the server can create as many mail accounts as it wants (it could be restricted by the owner of the server though) by just clicking on some buttons. You could build emails like
admin@arian.com and many other. You could even start a mail server that gives your users email addresses like [user]@arian.com, but that's not really a mail server because all of your emails are hosted on a bigger server or even if you have a dedicated server, still the admins of the data center have access to your emails. Do you see what I mean? And we're now only talking about physical access, we're not talking about the security of the data which is sent/received in the network, etc. I hope it's clearer now.
Again pay your ISP for a static IP, register your site as .ir and give the registry your static IP i.e., the ip of your own machine. Host a webserver and a mailserver on your own machine(no 'data center'. Your site will also be faster when accessed from Iran.). Pay your ISP for as much bandwidth as you want and have your machine in an appropriate location. You have a high bandwidth site which no one outside your country can mess with. They can access it just like other Iranians can, but they cannot read your mails unless they crack your server.
Internet is not entirely controlled by the USA. That is the reason why wikileaks is still alive, ********* is still alive. And wikileaks is a bigger threat to the US than Iran is(Wikileaks will hit them even if US does not start a war).
You have a delusional paranoia about American dominance in everything. Please come out of it. Most of the time, powerless people are powerless, exactly because they
feel and think so. Come out of the mire of conspiracy theories.
