North Korea gets 3G at last

摘要

Egypt's Orascom Telecom has revealed that it has successfully trialled WCMDA 3G services inside the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. The company, which won a contract through its subsidiary, Cheo Technology, won a licence to deploy a cellular network earlier this year, bringing the first official, commercial 3G mobile services to the country. In stark contrast to its southern neighbour the growth of mobile communications has been severely hampered by president Kim Jong-il's government.
