(Thanks to hapo for the info on this)
The .kp TLD is up and running. There seems to be only one publicly accessible site, and is thinking of accepting registrations soon. What the conditions of registring is unclear, but is interesting all the same. If there are other sites, I do not know.
Will all the pro-DPRK sites go to the new domain? After all, North Korea is not too fond of Japan. If you have not seen it yet, here are some links for you:
Meeting from the board of directors
ANA Report on Delegation of the .KP Top-Level Domain
Alright, that should be more than enough. At any rate, I thought this would never happen, and anything is possible after this news. Yes, this may be a little old in the news department, but it is pretty significant as far as the DPRK is concerned.
Songun blog has this video, but before I show you the video, here is the blurb regarding it:
It is a common misconception in the outside world, fed with constant mindless US imperialist anti-DPRK propaganda drivel, that North Koreans do not have computers or even knowledge of the existence of the Internet.
This, of course, is complete nonsense and is disproved by the Dutch documentary “North Korea, A Day In The Life”.
Please do not believe in US imperialist anti-DPRK propaganda but look at the facts.
As an anti-DPRK person, I am sure North Koreans have knowledge of the Internet, and some even accessed it. Phones have been smuggled in along with other media. While the North has been trying to keep it under control according to reports and defectors, once the genie is out of the bottle, it is difficult to put it back in.
Also, the documentary A Day in the Life is an attempt to show what North Korea is like from the government’s perspective like the tours. It seems the family shown is part of the policy elites. That is evident from grandpa with all the medals. But hey, you knew that already.
