TEHRAN – The ICT deputy minister says 0.9 percent of the World Wide Web content is in Persian.

So far over 25,000 Persian-language android applications have been created and reached users, said Nasrollah Jahangard.
He further stated that so far 50 percent of the 5th National Development Plan that relates to high-speed communication has been materialized, the Mehr news agency reported on Monday.

By the end of the plan’s term, 60 percent of Iranian households must be provided with high-speed internet connection, which would mean 18 million high-speed connections, he explained.

By the end of the previous Iranian year (March 20), over 200 cities were using 3G, and 50 cities were using 4G internet connections, he stated.
