Title: The North Korean Intranet
Post by: Kosh on October 23, 2006, 08:19:17 pm: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/23/technology/23link.html?_r=1&ref=technology&oref=slogin

This is an impoverished country where televisions and radios are hard-wired to receive only government-controlled frequencies. Cellphones were banned outright in 2004. In May, the Committee to Protect Journalists in New York ranked North Korea No. 1 — over also-rans like Burma, Syria and Uzbekistan — on its list of the “10 Most Censored Countries.”

That would seem to leave the question of Internet access in North Korea moot

It is truely a pathetic sight......

Post by: Ford Prefect on October 24, 2006, 01:12:51 am: Not even one? That's crazy. Just today I received at least three internets.

Post by: WMCoolmon on October 24, 2006, 01:36:11 am: The tubes were all clogged, so I didn't get any internets today.

Staff says they'll be fixed tomorrow, though.

Post by: aldo_14 on October 24, 2006, 03:48:27 am: I get all my internets by post, nowadays. It's much easier than nipping down the shops to buy them, Tescos are always sold out.
