Being viewed as an enabler of Iranian governmental spying is perhaps not exactly the sort of image any corporation is looking to project at the moment. So when The Wall Street Journal printed a story stating that the country was using "deep packet inspection" that may or may not have been provided by Nokia Siemens, in order to monitor its citizens, the company was quick to deny any involvement.
Nokia Siemens didn't deny providing any monitoring capability, however--the company said that it provided the same sort of legal interception it gives to countries like the UK and US. That capability lets authorities listen in on cell and landline calls.

Way to take the "we sold them the gun but we didn't know what they'd do with it" approach even though they had to know how it would be utilized.
Although that being said, there's nothing illegal about what they sold them. It's really a double-edged issue.

I've just been wondering when we Iranians are under so many sanctions which was meant to be aimed to the government but affected the people more, why would Nokia Siemens take such a step towards such a government. I mean for gods sake, we Iranians have been portrayed as supporting terrorists because of this Government and yet Nokia Siemens do you really think it was fine because it was legal & you had given it to the UK & USA???????? Honestly just think about it and just see how we're being hurt because of the money you just wished to earn out of it
