Main issues on telecommunication`s privatization buried under trivial ones

The government will continue doing so until it changes the circumstances to its own liking.
This is how the market experts and critics interpret the delay surrounding TCIs privatization, furthermore comments like, “if we do not face any problem in TCIs privatization process than…” prompts speculations to go wild on the issue.
One of the methods employed by the state managers who want to put off a project or to manipulate it is to distract their audiences not by news blockade but by injecting them with mundane reports in order to buy themselves some time.
It is under these circumstances that the audience keeps track of the latest unimportant remarks made by the officials while remaining optimistic.
The reality is that at the beginning of the Iranian year 1386 (March-April 2007) and in line with implementing the new privatization law decreed  by Irans supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the ministry of telecommunication put on its agenda privatization of TCI with the deadline of 1386 (December 2007 – January 2008). The deadline meant selling off TCIs stock in the stock exchange. But issues like TCIs charter, its operation license, the fate of subscribers deposits, financial transparency, declaring the base price for the stock offering, determining the companys capital and state re-controlling the TCI have delayed going through with the privatization.
However, more important issues like the ambiguity surrounding the TCIs capital that is said to be between 140 trillion rials (nearly 15 billion dollars) to 1200 trillion rilas (127 billion dollars) or the TCIs license which states the company has monopoly have been drowned under pile of menial reports.
To put is simply, important issues like the privatization process of the colossal TCI through stock exchange, has been buried under the bombardment of the timing of its privatization reports.
