A website that volunteers to be an uncritical mouthpiece of a publicly traded Egyptian company which reports *an exponential growth* in telecommuications business in the most closed off society anywhere and the single poorest country in the whole world where an average monthly wage is 4000 NK Won and a kilo of rice costs 1500 in the market.

Also thought it was worth noting that video-calling was launched in Q3 2010 to “high demand… especially in the youth segment.” As a result koryolink intends to launch further value-added 3G services in 2011. Can only be a good thing.
Finally, with regards to the “shortage in handset supply that was continuously caused by the handset distributor”, how frustrating that there are literally millions of no-longer-used but perfectly fine handsets with hangul keys sat gathering dust just south of the DMZ.
