North Korea: An Unsustainable System? In 2009, cell phones arrived in North Korea. The phones can only be used to make calls inside the country unless modified to make calls internationally, a very serious crime. There is an awareness and ability for the population to communicate instantaneously, which was never there before. North Korea went from 0-1 million cell phone registrations in 3 years, 1-2 million took 1 year, and 2-3 million took about 6 months. Many would argue the concrete wall that has isolated North Korea’s people is becoming more porous. Will North Korea’s modernization and information flow lead to a transformation of society? Is the system as it stands unsustainable?
