Hamid Fattahi, Deputy Minister and Assistant Minister of Communications and Information Technology, acknowledged the existing challenges in the internet sector and deemed users' complaints about download speed and bandwidth as justified. He stated, "Today, the internet is not a luxury; we all need the internet." These remarks come at a time when the problems of internet infrastructure in the country still persist.
Investment Challenges in Infrastructure
Fattahi pointed out that the main reason for these problems is the lack of sufficient investment in infrastructure development. According to him, the imbalance between income and expenses is one of the main reasons for the operators' lack of investment.

Status of Rightel Company
The Deputy Minister of Communications also referred to the status of Rightel Company, stating, "Rightel lost its license protection period and was not a serious player in the mobile communications sector."

In conclusion, it is important to note that internet users, especially in the current era where dependence on the internet is increasing day by day, need access to quality and reliable services. Therefore, the actions of the Ministry of Communications and proper planning in this area can significantly impact the improvement of the internet situation and the resolution of users' problems.
