Communications in North Korea refers to the communication services available in North Korea. North Korea has not fully adopted mainstream Internet technology due to its isolationist policies.〔(High-tech revolution yet to hit North Korea )〕 ==Telephone== North Korea has an adequate telephone system, with 1.18 million fixed lines available in 2008.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Country Comparison: Telephones – main lines in use )〕 However, most phones are only installed for senior government officials. Someone wanting a phone installed must fill out a form indicating their rank, why he wants a phone, and how he will pay for it.〔French, Paul. ''North Korea: The Paranoid Peninsula – A Modern History.''New York: Zed Books, 2007. 22. Print.〕 Most of these are installed in government offices, collective farms, and state-owned enterprises (SOEs), with only perhaps 10 percent controlled by individuals or households. By 1970 automatic switching facilities were in use in Pyongyang, Sinŭiju, Hamhŭng, and Hyesan. A few public telephone booths were beginning to appear in Pyongyang around 1990. In the mid-1990s, an automated exchange system based on an E-10A system produced by Alcatel joint-venture factories in China was installed in Pyongyang. North Koreans announced in 1997 that automated switching had replaced manual switching in Pyongyang and 70 other locales.〔Lee, 2003〕 North Korean press reported in 2000 that fiber-optic cable had been extended to the port of Nampho and that North Pyong'an Province had been connected with fiber-optic cable. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Telecommunications in North Korea」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
