Reuters: N.Korea Opens Pilot Web Portal, Glitches Remain
North Korea will be getting its own Internet portal, with the soft launch of Naenara ("My Country"), which promises to provide information on trade, tourism, official media pronouncements and email facilities. So far only the media pronouncements are available, along with martial music. The Stalinist state's leader, Kim Jong Il, is said to be an avid reader of the web. One section of the site promises a "brisk exchange of trade information," calling North Korea a "promising exporter."
