Rajan Datar looks at the battle for cyberspace that鈥檚 currently being fought in Iran.

He talks to the 成人论坛鈥檚 Tehran correspondent, Jon Leyne, about his experience of 鈥渋nformation blockades鈥�, periods when the Iranian authorities clamp down on communication, dismantling the mobile phone network, blocking SMS messages and shutting down the internet.

And Rajan also talks to Mahmood Enayat, the 成人论坛 World Service Trust's expert on Iran and the internet, to find out whether anything can be done to prevent repressive governments from taking control of cyberspace.

And the programme also previews the forthcoming World Service season, Superpower, which looks at the impact of the internet on society.
