Using smartphones in Korea, only accessing the internal Internet, the app must go to the store

In Korea, up to 40% of people use smartphones, a small number in the country known for strict regulations on the use of technology by people. Koreans also use phones to make phone calls, text messages and games like any other country but have some other restrictions.

In Korea, most people, whether using computers, tablets or smartphones, can only access the local network, but cannot access the Internet. Of course, downloading applications in this country is not easy. North Koreans can not go to the app store themselves and press the download, but they have to rely on technicians in government approved media centers.
