Kwangmyong (intranet)

Kwangmyong (meaning "bright") is a North Korean nationwide intranet released in 2000. It has a browser, an e-mail programme, news groups and a search engine. Only a small amount of government approved people are allowed to use the internet, so all other people use Kwangmyong.
