Iranian regime launches YouTube-like video site, Mehr

The Iranian regime has launched its own video sharing site called Mehr, similar to that of YouTube. The site wasn't just made to compete against Youtube, Vimeo and others, but to have more control over what gets posted. Perhaps it was made in anticipation of its domestic Internet launch?

This Newsy.com video has said that Iran was the country that was planning to get its own national Internet, or Intranet (closed network). It also revealed that in 2002, North Korea had its own closed Internet network, with its own search engine, email and browser.
