Internet In North Korea

Internet access is available in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea), but only permitted with special authorisation and primarily used for government purposes. The country has some broadband infrastructure, including optical fibre links between major institutions producing nationwide speeds of up to 2.5Gbit/s. However, online services for most individuals and institutions are provided through a free domestic-only network known as Kwangmyong, with access to the global Internet limited to a much smaller group.
