The<br \/>\nstate<\/span>\u2019<span lang=\"EN-US\">s move to allow the use of these devices,<br \/>\ndirectly following the commemorative event for the third anniversary since Kim<br \/>\nJong Il<\/span>\u2019<span lang=\"EN-US\">s death, is considered unprecedented.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u201c<span lang=\"EN-US\">During an <i>inminban<\/i> [people<\/span>\u2019<span lang=\"EN-US\">s unit] meeting on the 13th, along with propaganda messages about<br \/>\nthe third anniversary of Kim Jong Il<\/span>\u2019<span lang=\"EN-US\">s death, we were<br \/>\ntold there were orders from above [the Party] saying individuals are able to<br \/>\nuse &#8216;notetel&#8217; [the colloquial name for the media devices]<\/span>\u201d<span lang=\"EN-US\"> a source based in Yangkang Province<br \/>\ntold the Daily NK on Monday. Following this announcement, the devices<br \/>\npreviously sold only in black markets are now on sale at regular marketplaces.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">&#8220;Notetel&#8221; can be similar to the size of a<br \/>\nlaptop or as small as six inches. The devices sold at marketplaces in the North<br \/>\nare roughly 80 to 100 USD, with one dollar currently trading for 8,300 KPW at the<br \/>\nmarkets.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Prior to this relaxed measure, North Korea<br \/>\nimposed strict crackdowns on the use of tablet PCs, MP3 players, smartphones, and Chinese portable media players in order to cut off access to information from the<br \/>\noutside world&#8211;especially popular content generated in South Korea. &#8220;Notetel&#8221; are small, portable, and can read CDs, DVDs, and also flash drives, which is<br \/>\nwhy they were popular with younger North Koreans.<\/span>&nbsp;Most models are also equipped with television and radio tuners.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">All residents will be allowed to use the compact media players, but with one caveat characteristic of North Korea: the channel on the<br \/>\ndevices must be fixed to preset state requirements, according to the source.<br \/>\nAlso, households with such players must receive a sticker of registration from<br \/>\nsecurity and judicial agencies.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Unsurprisingly, most North Koreans &nbsp;are nonplussed &nbsp;by the sudden move, questioning why this authorization has been granted, the<br \/>\nsource said. <\/span>\u201c<span lang=\"EN-US\">The Party has legally allowed the use of<br \/>\nthem, but it could be a trap to catch people that engage in illicit activities,<br \/>\nso residents have to be more careful,<\/span>\u201d<span lang=\"EN-US\"> some have<br \/>\nspeculated.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">The North may have restricted use of the<br \/>\ndevice with its preset channel requirement, but breaking the mandated seal is<br \/>\nhardly an onerous task. People at the markets, while dodging the watchful gaze<br \/>\nof state surveillance, instruct users on how to secretly remove the seal. The state, which is<br \/>\nalmost certainly aware of this practice, may be using this as a means to<br \/>\nidentify those who illegally watch South Korean TV dramas and weed them out,<br \/>\nthe source surmised.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u201c<span lang=\"EN-US\">As Kim Jong Eun<\/span>\u2019<span lang=\"EN-US\">s<br \/>\nera officially opens up, it seems like he is trying to win over people<\/span>\u2019<span lang=\"EN-US\">s hearts by letting them use &#8216;notetel,&#8217;<\/span>\u201d<span lang=\"EN-US\"><br \/>\nshe explained, but was quick to express skepticism. <\/span>\u201c<span lang=\"EN-US\">You<br \/>\ncan<\/span>\u2019<span lang=\"EN-US\">t &nbsp;leave out the possibility that he is using<br \/>\nit as a way to lure in those who have these devices and expose their<br \/>\nideological tendencies.<\/span>\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">The source, like most wary residents in North<br \/>\nKorea, plans to tread lightly until the implications of the new measure present<br \/>\nthemselves. <\/span>\u201c<span lang=\"EN-US\">The young leader [Kim Jong Eun], who was<br \/>\nable to study abroad, may be putting on this image of benevolence for his<br \/>\npeople, but the nature of politics is that you never know when things will<br \/>\nchange, so caution must be exercised,<\/span>\u201d<span lang=\"EN-US\"> she concluded.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>North Korea has permitted the use of portable Chinese media players, commonly used as hidden tools to gain access to a view of the outside world by its people, the Daily NK has learned.
