		<description>Perhaps someone here can help me.  

I am completing a global survey of WiFi regulations for the International Telecommunication Union.  See http://www.itu.int/osg/spu/stn/spectrum/workshop_proceedings/Background_Papers_Final/ITU-Horvitz-FINAL.pdf. 

Iran adopted new rules for low-power radio devices a few months ago that seem to follow European norms.  But I only have the rules in Farsi - there is no official English translation.  You can find them here (note that you must use Internet Explorer to download them):

http://www.cra.ir/EArchive/EArchiveF/Item.asp?ParentID=295&amp;ItemID=1117

I cannot tell if these devices (which include WiFi) require a license.  

Can anyone visiting this site either tell me what rules now govern WiFi use in Iran, or if licenses are required for other low-power devices like Bluetooth?

Many thanks in advance.  Our Iranian wireless page is at
