Internet in Iran: 17 Sept 2024

We hosted a RIPE NCC Open House for our members and other Internet stakeholders in Iran.

The RIPE NCC Open House was a ninety-minute remote session where RIPE NCC staff, community members, and industry experts will meet and share insights, feedback, and support. The session is primarily focused on the Iranian Internet community.

RIPE NCC staff answered questions regarding their areas of expertise, including:

• Athina Fragkouli, Chief Legal Officer
• Simon-Jan Haytink, Chief Financial Officer
• Marco Schmidt, Registration Services Manager
• Hadi Pouranian, Internet Resource Analyst

The discussion covered various topics, including:

• The state of the Internet in Iran and across our service region
• How RIPE NCC tools and measurements can help operators (RIPE Atlas, RIPEstat, RIPE IPmap)
• Improvements that the RIPE NCC can make to help operators in Iran
• IPv6 deployment
• Local community development and the support available from the RIPE NCC

The session was moderated by Alastair Strachan, Community Development Officer.
