North Korea has opened Twitter and YouTube accounts, and they have 185.000 subscribers to 3G mobile network. Wow. For a totally isolated nation, this is big news.
Of course all messages are fully controlled by the govenrment, no international phone calls nor free access to internet is allowed, but this is a start. I have always believed that dictatorships will fall, give them time, and that mobile technology is changing the world for better.
An interesting detail about the 3G network is that it is run jointly by the North Korean governement, and an independent German company called Korea Computer Center Europe. It's surprising to see a totalitarian communist nation partner with a western private company, and not utilizing the same knowledge available from other communist or socialist countries.
