Broadcasting Tehran’s Repression

It may not come as a surprise to learn that the Iranian government invests heavily in internet filtering, mobile-communication restrictions and jamming of international satellite broadcasts to control and manipulate the Iranian people. What may be surprising is that European companies, particularly satellite providers, continue to provide services to Tehran despite its comprehensive assault on free expression and free access to information.

Catching the Internet’s spies in Iran and elsewhere

In August, Google introduced a new, if rather obscure, security feature to its Chrome web browser, designed to be triggered only under extreme circumstances. If you were talking to Google's servers using the web's secure "https" protocol, your browser makes a number of checks to ensure that you are really talking to Google's servers. Like an overly obsessive bouncer, the new code double-checks the identity of any supposed Google site against a Chrome-only list of valid Google identities hardwired into the browser.

In Times of Unrest, Social Networks Can Be a Distraction

Sophisticated governments will realize that "shutting down the Internet radicalizes things".  What is more useful to governments, is "bandwidth throttling," recognizing that "Internet is something you can meter out."

Basically creating a private Internet that's not connected to anyone outside Iran. It's very possible. If there are only a few of points of entry into the country, they must control those.
