North Korean authorities started signing up 4G subscribers after the country upgraded its telecom network with secondhand equipment bought mainly from China's Huawei.

    Tourists, probably. That’s what their 3G network is for, if I remember correctly.

      Ah yeah. With the current storage data on phones, while trips there usually are a week or so, 3G isn’t fast enough for them to spy on all the tourists’ data

      Tourists

      They have that? Why would you go there?

      I thought internet is mostly for officials and military in NK?

        For real. Even though my country has diplomatic ties with NK I would never in a million years step foot in there. I don’t think anyone should.

        I’m not dumb enough to actually go but I get the draw. It’s a fascinating place.

          I’m not allowed to go, but I sure would love to see that dictstorship with my own eyes.
