North Korea's Logistics Revolution 

Since Kim Jong-un came to power in late 2011, North Korea has been experiencing a logistics revolution in mobile telecommunications and commercial transportation. The interplay between the two is helping to empower unofficial markets in North Korea as merchants are increasingly relying on cell phones for real-time prices and new private shipping and delivery methods. It is also greatly increasing the mobility of people, goods, and information to levels never before seen in the country.
