The IT Nerd

Good news if you’re in North Korea! Internet access has been restored after a 10 hour outage. That’s great news for the nation of 25 million people who rely on the Internet for a variety of needs.

Oh, wait. They only have 1024 IP addresses assigned to them. That means that about 1000 people max use the Internet in that country. At least they’ll be able to watch cat videos on YouTube again.

UPDATE: North Korea have come out with a statement regarding their loss of Internet access that defies belief:

Technology Minister Park Soong-Kwon announces massive breakthrough in DPRK internet technology, to be installed over next several days.

A new router from Best Buy with 802.11AC perhaps?
