PHOTOS: Instagram Opens Lens on North Korea
The North Korean government has made its mobile data network accessible to foreigners. In mid-January, visitors were allowed to bring their cell phones into the country for the first time. Now, local cell phone network provider Koryolink has opened up a 3G connection allowing foreigners to tweet, instagram and post images to social media. North Koreans, who for the most part they are not allowed Internet access, will not be allowed to use the mobile data service.
