The North Korean regime has long maintained tight control over the flow of information within its borders, but when the country's first-ever 3G network goes live next week, it apparently won't come with any content filters — for some, at least. In an e-mail to Bloomberg , a spokesman for Orascom Telecom said foreigners working in or visiting the country will have unfettered mobile access to the web, thanks to new policies implemented by supreme leader Kim Jong Un. Cairo-based Orascom owns a 75 percent stake in Koryolink, North Korea's only mobile provider and the entity responsible for operating its new 3G network.
