A source in North Korea informed RFA that recently people not only in Pyeongyang but also in many regions can call each other through cell phones.
However, because of the spread of information by cell phone, merchants cannot earn a lot of money. One merchant said that business information is spreading too fast so it is hard to earn as much money as before. Also, these days, prices in every region are almost the same.
