Thought it might be interesting for you: Iranian governemmt has sent a letter to all ADSL providers in Iran, to limit access of their users to bandwidth above 128kbps. Before this, many people used ADSL connections ranging from 64kbps to 2.0mbps.
The market was growing rapidly, and the current change has put ADSL providers in a tough siuation. Let alone poor users who have lost some basic access to this (semi-)free media.
As you know, filtering internet resources using censoring software like your favorite(!) SmartFilter and some in-house solutions is common practice in Iran. Apparently internet is one of the bad bad things which is not favored by IRI government.This is contrary to what I observed in the previous president's trend.
Since none of the news agencies in Iran has published the english version of this news yet, I have to refer to this only: Link.
Update: more in this wire service report: Link.
