Google in North Korea: Google Not Afraid to Dive Deep Into North Korea

Page 2 of 2

It is safe to say that Google has a lot of work ahead if they plan on bringing the map of North Korea up to par with the rest of the world.

Here are the thoughts of Kim Yong-hyun, a North Korea specialist at Dongguk University in Seoul:

“So far, Google’s efforts are largely symbolic. It won’t be easy to make a Google map of North Korea of the kind you see of other countries.”

It is hard to argue with Yong-hyun. Simply put, North Korea is too secretive to make any fast strides in this area. That being said, Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG) is not shying away from giving it a try.

What are your thoughts? Is this a waste of time for Google?
