After 2003, the Internet and wireless communications were introduced to Iraq in a wide range and became accessible to all, with millions of mobile subscribers and many satellite Internet service providers.

The number of mobile phone lines in Iraq in the latest statistics issued by the Central Bureau of Statistics at the end of December 2016, about 33.5 million lines during the year 2015, while the number of mobile Internet service lines for companies operating in Iraq about 5.7 million lines.

Iraq has three main telecoms companies, including Zain, Asasil and Cork, operating in all the southern and northern provinces of the country for high wages and poor service that does not achieve the lowest levels when compared to mobile services in non-Arab countries.

Iraq's telecoms companies are reaping billions of dollars in services they offer to citizens in exchange for a very small percentage of them given to the federal government that authorized them to work inside the country.

$ 3.5 billion in annual profits

In this regard, the MP revealed the mass of parliamentary virtue, Hassan al-Shammari, "the total amount of minimum profits to be obtained by the communications companies operating in Iraq about $ 3 billion and 456 million dollars, for a sum of up to one billion to pay the state."

Al-Shammari said that "the federal government's money resulting from the work of telecommunications companies in Iraq does not pay immediately, but within a year and a half."

"The waste of public money is that the three companies (Asiacell, Zain and Cork) are going to pay together to the state treasury very little, an estimated $ 921 million over the next seven years," Shammari said.

Al-Shammari said that this represents "a great loss for the state compared to the huge profits that companies earn and to clarify in figures and according to the data announced by the companies regarding the monthly profit rate obtained by the number of subscribers distributed to the three companies and the majority with Zain Kuwait and profit rate $ 12 per month About one subscriber for a call-only service without the profits of messages, advertisements and the Internet. "

Violations

Legally, legal expert Tariq Harb explained, "Mobile phone contracts are far from the provisions of the law.

The war in a press statement earlier, "The communications companies were paying a billion and a quarter billion to the Iraqi government in 2007," calling for "to raise the amount of the contract in 2014 because of the increasing number of subscribers, which was 5 million subscribers in its history, and in 2014 exceeded Number 25 million subscribers. "

The legal expert considered the war that "the contract entered into by the contact companies with the federal government was for a long period of 15 years and the amount of one does not change companies paid to the government despite the expansion in use and increase the number of phones, and the amount in the contract was paid in 2007 is the same amount Payment in 2015 and will continue the same contract to the year 2022, "noting that" this contract did not guarantee the rights of the state and the rights of citizens from the abuse of those companies. "

Spy operations and surveillance

The private telecommunications companies did not stop to control large sums of money in return for poor service to the subscribers and small fees for the federal government, which play a more dangerous role, namely espionage operations and control of the secrets of the country.

In July 2017, the MP of the State of Law Coalition Jassim Mohammed Jaafar revealed the exploitation of Zain's telecommunications companies for spying and wiretapping in Iraq. He pointed out that the Kurdistan Region has aborted a project to secure communications.

Jafar said in a statement that "there are countries and destinations are exploiting Zain and other telecommunications companies such as Asia and Cork to spy on Iraq and wiretapping phone calls," asserting that "my personal phone is monitored."

Jafar added that he "proposed a project to secure communications through four gates proposed by the Minister of Communications," pointing out that "the emergence of the Kurdish force prevented the implementation of the project."

The successive Iraqi governments that ran the country after April 2003 have missed an opportunity to make Iraq's mobile phone project the first non-oil project to generate national funds on Iraq's coffers for the country's reconstruction campaign.
