The best on demand is on progressive peoples demand.

I wonder how much telecom infrastructure suitable for streaming is there in NK, outside central Pyongyang. Would that be basically a glorified hotel entertainment system?

I think I remember reading something about how the network inside NK was basically running off one (edit: a few) IP addresses with an enterprise local network.

I think that was posted on HN, I'll try to find the link.

edit: was it this one? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12123888

From further down the article, this implies more than one address: In May security researcher Doug Madory discovered a social network - resembling a crude clone of Facebook - on a North Korean internet address. "I don't believe it was intended to be accessible from outside North Korea," Mr Madory told the BBC.

Telecom infrastructure can be easy, just use RF/MW :) Outside of Pyongyang you are lucky if you have access to electricity ;)
