The Internet Management System and its Function

The importance of the communications age and its prodigious developments is not hidden for any scholar and responsible official. Neglecting these developments and failures will lead to irreparable losses. The Internet phenomenon with all its potentials and threat-oriented and opportunity-oriented capacities has created a particular space and entering this space intelligently and purposefully will enable people and nations to utilize its significant and suitable potentials well. The discovery of this phenomenon by Americans provided an opportunity for them to design and launch massive Internet sites and consequently gain enormous economic, social, cultural, security and military advantages. On the other hand, the strategies of the Internet operators in the West, the structural complexity of the Internet and the lack of tight international rules to govern this space have made the virtual powers the unrivalled directors of this realm. However, due to the special properties and features of the Internet, they have not been able to have its full utilization and exploitation under their control. Hence, others nations including the Islamic Republic of Iran have the chance to play a decisive role in the management and exploitation of this immense and wide-ranging communication medium by investing widely and having strong willpower. Having intelligence, strategy and long-term goals and investing appropriately are the requirements and necessities of remaining active in this arena.
