Iran introduces tiered internet access amid ongoing blackout.

Iran introduces tiered internet access amid ongoing blackout.

Iran's internet blackout has now lasted over 60 days, but authorities have announced an 'Internet Pro' scheme to allow some businesses and academics limited access. While details are scarce, it's likely still heavily censored, and the government says full access will resume only after geopolitical issues are resolved. Meanwhile, alternative messaging apps are surging in popularity, and Iran-linked hacker groups remain active, recently claiming to have sent threatening messages to U.S. Marines and others. https://www.thenationalnews.com/future/technology/2026/04/28/iran-internet-pro-update-blackout/

60 days is brutal. Not surprised people are flocking to alternative apps. When you shut the front door, everyone finds a window.

So they create a 'Pro' internet that's still just a censored walled garden. Meanwhile regular folks are stuck in the dark. This is about control, not service.
