Why not negotiate with the government of Iran? Tell them how making mobile phones cheaper would increase the need for a cellular infrastructure, tell them that there are new business models that present themselves once everyone is connected. Tariffs are apart of life, but you shouldn’t be forced to shove old models down the throats of an entire nation since you can’t get them new products. Negotiate, communicate, compromise. Here’s a hint, why not offer to give Iran HSDPA France and Poland are sure enjoying it.
