The Iraqi Internet

Until 1999, ordinary Iraqis did not have access to the Internet. That 
was not entirely the fault of the Iraqi government. UN-imposed trade 
sanctions made it impossible to import the necessary technical 
equipment. Now the government allows individuals to access the 
Net, albeit only via its own service provider (the State Company for 
Internet Services) which trades as uruklink.net. But the Iraqi 
authorities have not been careful in ensuring technical control of 
their own Web sites.
