The use of mobile phones has been banned in North Korea without any official reason.
"It is true that mobile phone use was banned around May 25," said a North Korean official attending economic talks with the South in the North's capital Pyongyang, according to a South Korean pool report from the talks. The official declined to elaborate, the report said.
No one on the streets of Pyongyang was seen using mobile phones and officials and foreign travel agents were lining up at hotels to use public pay phones, the report said.
South Korea's Chosun Ilbo newspaper has said the ban of mobile phones might have been imposed after the North's security service decided that a deadly train blast in the town of Ryongchon in April was triggered by mobile phones in a botched attempt to assassinate North Korean leader Kim Jong-il.

Maybe they'll be back with the old telegraph machine to minimize detection/scrammbling of codes via satellite, as they will prepare for war with the US ! |

@axxxr - Yup! 'morse code' - I just forgot that device, to be safe, I just used the telegraph word. You are truly a well-versed person mate! |

@axxxr - WOW! very fast . . . Looks to me like one of Alexander Graham Bell's earlier blueprints when he invented the telephone! Who knows, maybe someday Sony Ericsson will make fones designed just like that, but with it's hugeness, maybe it will be equipped with mini- fridge, mini-cabinet, mini-doorknob and mini-cooper! |

because they know no different.
the system is designed to prevent the general population becoming exposed to such dangerous and subversive ideas as democracy and independent thought.
