Although North Korean phones cannot<br \/>\naccess the Internet, activity on the domestic intranet, known as Kwangmyong,<br \/>\nhas been flourishing with the increased availability of propaganda films and<br \/>\nnews.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u201cEven if you have a good computer or<br \/>\nsmartphone here in North Korea, access to the outside internet is blocked and<br \/>\nit is impossible to connect to it. But we do have our pathetic intranet system through<br \/>\nwhich we can share biased information provided by the authorities,\u201d a source in<br \/>\nSouth Pyongan Province reported to Daily NK over the phone on October 5.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Signing up for domestic intranet is<br \/>\nrequired for Party cadres and other elites with their own personal computers at<br \/>\nhome or in the office, she explained. While most citizens who have smartphones<br \/>\navoid downloading files through because it is so expensive, a portion of the<br \/>\npopulation does use them to acquire movies and music.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">The cost of a smartphone in North Korea<br \/>\ncurrently averages 500 USD or more, putting it out of reach for most ordinary<br \/>\ncitizens, who instead continue to use older cell phone models. Despite this<br \/>\nextraordinary expense, the number of people who own smartphones is slowly<br \/>\nrising, which means the number of people hopping on the intranet is on the rise<br \/>\nas well. To keep up, the smartphones themselves are improving in quality and<br \/>\nfunction, according to the source.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">People who can afford the luxury of a<br \/>\nsmartphone take pride in showing off their wealth by consuming the media<br \/>\naccessible via the intranet in public places. Cell phones are billed at the<br \/>\nbeginning or end of every month using a card that keeps track of the number of<br \/>\ndownloads and duration of phone usage. In other words, the more a person<br \/>\ndownloads, the more expensive the bill.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u201cThese days, you can see more and more<br \/>\nyoung people dancing to music played from their smartphones on trains and in<br \/>\nparks. People walk around with headphones in watching movies or listening to<br \/>\nmusic. It has become a part of the culture,\u201d she asserted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u201cBut almost no one downloads the Rodong<br \/>\nSinmun because it\u2019s so boring. High-level cadres at state-run enterprises only<br \/>\ndownload and read it because they feel an obligation to do so and these days<br \/>\nthere are so many issues with the distribution of the physical newspaper.\u201d<\/span>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Outside of Pyongyang, the publication often fails to be delivered for 3 or 4 days at a time due to power shortages<br \/>\nbesetting the nation\u2019s postal services. Rather than wait around to read out of<br \/>\ndate news, it is easier to simply download and read it online.<\/span>&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/read.php?num=13477&amp;cataId=nk01500\"><font color=\"#0000ff\">This also helps cadres leery of the greater scrutiny coupling Rodong Sinmun subscription recently.&nbsp;<\/font><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">A source in North Pyongan Province<br \/>\nconfirmed these developments while adding that in addition to news, the<br \/>\nintranet provides information regarding commodity prices, exchange rates, the<br \/>\nweather, airport and train schedules. In fact, smartphone users can compare<br \/>\ncommodity prices across the provinces and track goods as they are shipped.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Market retailers and wholesalers who pay<br \/>\nextra to have their goods shipped by train can keep track of the train<br \/>\nschedules by pressing 113, cutting down on uncertainty about when to expect<br \/>\ndeliveries, he said, noting the development as a \u201cdistinct improvement for<br \/>\ntravelers and sellers who previously might spend the whole night waiting at the<br \/>\nstation, fearful of missing their train.\u201d<\/span>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Additionally, the intranet homepage offers<br \/>\ninformation about popular restaurants, entertainment programs, and even<br \/>\nfactories. Intranet users can view the location, product images, prices, and<br \/>\ninformation, and phone numbers of state-owned factories.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Although the homepage recommends different<br \/>\npopular restaurants, market sellers as yet cannot check the prices of goods or<br \/>\nthe exchange rates in individual markets and must still rely on old fashioned<br \/>\nphone calls to obtain such information. According to the source, people are hoping that in the future they will be able to check not only factory and<br \/>\nrestaurant information, but also the prices of goods in each market across the<br \/>\nnation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">*The content of this article was broadcast to the North Korean people via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.unificationmediagroup.org\/\"><font color=\"#0000ff\">Unification Media Group.<\/font><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently, North Korean citizens have been able to use smartphones to download not only movies and music, but also the state-run publication, Rodong Sinmun.
