Link: Iran: Research projects SMS revenue allocation requires legislation – ICT deputy
Ministry of Information & Communication Technology Educational, Research and International Affairs deputy stressed that allocation of mobile phone SMS revenue to universities’ research projects across the country requires legislation. Kamaal Mohamedpour, in conversation with MOBNA referred to the President’s proposal that such revenue be allocated to research projects said such funds should go through legal procedures before reaching such bodies. “Parliament acts stipulate that Telecom revenue is credited to Government Treasury before a portion of it is allocated to the ICT Ministry.” he added. He indicated that government agencies are required to allocate 1% of their funds to research projects. He added that Telecom Research Center obtains its research fund through legal channels, which is not necessarily SMS revenue. Earlier, President Ahmadinejad had stressed that SMS revenue be allocated to universities’ research projects and so the ICT Ministry.
