Although the new Iranian financial year won’t commence until 1 Farvardin 1393 (21 March 2014), President Hassan Rouhani submitted the new year’s budgetary plan to the Iranian Parliament on 8 December 2013, allowing us to engage in some closer analysis of the new numbers.

In this month’s Infrastructure Report, Small Media presents the findings of its in-depth review into both the original budgetary plan and the ICARC report, sharing a number of new insights into the Rouhani Administration’s ICT policy, and its controversial plans to develop the ‘National Internet’ - the National Information Network (SHOMA).
