Yep. Iran also talks from time to time about building an intranet but never gets around to it. Yet we all know that if the Islamic Republican regime gets overthrown the internet will be a big part of the cause, i.e. because it facilitates organization as it did in the Egyptian uprising and because it assists the proliferation of liberal or other unwanted ideologies and propaganda. Such regimes clearly underestimate how virus-like Westernization actually is, one that can only be resisted through self-imposed isolation, through quarantine, and the internet is easily the biggest medium through which it spreads.
