For Iran's case, the government can cut off the Internet at any time but the problem at this stage which they have tried to solve it is the bank/military/etc. communication. If the Iranian government wants to cut the Internet, their communication will cut as well and because of it, they want to launch the national Internet.
I believe they want to have an Interanet for their communication that they can turn off the Internet in especial situation such as protests.
