if you expect the ceo of the company or even the doorman to admit publicaly
that they are being supported by irib and the islamic republic then you are
even more naive than the average confused iranian.just remember if they do
that the harper regime will be after them like a hungry bull dog.
but i expect folks to use their brains and think about how can glwiz get all the
content they have,which includes local channels from iranian provinces,and every
single tv show or film ever made in iran without any direct help from irib or it's
associates.

thats not how the world works,
GLWIZ service COST the company money (bandwidth / infrastructure) , one must be STUPID to think they would just do this for "free" all those "FREE" apps you see, they are either after market-share to get popular and then be acquired, (similar to Whatsapp, YouTube etc.) or they are supported by ads.
GLWIZ has a decent market-share, so i don't think they are after that, I have a feeling they have a deal with Samsung that Samsung pays them something for each download ? All I can tell u, there nothing FREE in this world, someone , somewhere is paying for it

GLwiz is a brand and arm of Group of Goldline, a Toronto based telecom company.
I too know a few of the senior execs of the company and many of their employees personally. It's just a half-successful private venture that got most of their capitol during the phone-card boom of the late 90s and early 2000s. Their winning card was the cheap rates they managed to get from Iran's Mokhaberat. I'm guessing some parti-bazi and "reshveh" was involved there, but other than that, they're just a bunch of people running a mid-size company. I agree that they must have a friendly helping hand with IRIB but then again, it could be as simple as a couple of dudes in Dubai or Turkey recording and editing things for them all the time
Streaming I.R's channels is not a hard task either. It can be done from Dubai with ease, though IRIB has direct links to their own channels anyway, so GLwiz could simply embed them in their player.
I'm pretty sure the "free" status of their app on Samsung platforms is temporary. They'll probably start charging at some point.

I would never pay for GL Wizz. Its a complete rip off. You pay monthly for this crap while you can watch all the tv shows and Iranian movies you want on the internet for free. It is really stupid to pay for this garbage service. Also most of the Iranian tv channels show mostly chert o pert so what is your reason for getting it??..
