North Korea is actively developing its mobile industry.
Just a few years ago, the presence of a mobile phone from a North Korean citizen was considered to be an offense for which they were imprisoned (in any case, this information was provided and provided by Western media, which can be misleading, I can not judge). Not so long ago, the ban on the use of mobile phones was lifted, and now there is an active "mobilization" of the population. Not in the sense that the civilian population is mobilized to perform any work, but in the sense that ... Well, you understood.
By the end of the year, there may already be one million users in Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea, while the mobile network operates on the 3G standard. So the North Koreans immediately join the mobile cellular networks with more or less high bandwidth. Just two years ago, in Pyongyang, there were only 70,000 mobile network users, mainly party functionaries and all sorts of leaders.
Nowadays, many people have mobile phones, not only for the management, but also for ordinary waitresses, for example. A formal ban on the use of mobile devices was lifted in 2008, at the same time a contract was signed with the Egyptian company Orascom to create a 3G mobile network in North Korea. The Egyptians coped with the task, and now more and more North Koreans are enjoying the benefits of cellular services.

By the way, the cost of services also dropped significantly, so that an increasing number of citizens of this country can use a mobile phone as a means of communication. True, the cost of the device itself in the country averages $ 350. At the same time, the average salary of a North Korean is $ 15 a month (again, according to Western media, but here, as far as can be judged, everything is more or less true).
Now in the Orascom network there are 800 thousand users. Last year, at the same time, the number of subscribers of the cellular network was only 300 thousand people.
