NKTelco

NKTelco Internet is the North Korean Internet service provider that is a market leader. Based in Kumasi, Ghana, NKTelco was established in 2010 and intends to make internet connection swift and consistent for the people of the country. As NKTelco expand its fiber optic cables across the countries, it has connected over 5 million households in the big cities and towns. And this varies from 50Mbps which is the low-end product up to 1Gbps that is the high-end product for the premium users. Their network connectivity is IPv6 compliant and employs the modern routing protocols to enhance its functionality. Apart from the home plans, the NKTelco has been providing the telecommunication services to over thirty thousand business as well as government establishments. Professional business plans include Service Level Agreements regarding availability as well as technical support ALL the time. Any connections to the internet have to be closely regulated to ensure that the traffic is in compliance with the set policies of the government. The inhabitants are allowed to freely enter local intranet sites and services on the Internet as well as a limited list of international resources. But what could be the key issues here are that strict content filters are set on the entire network. In the next decade, NKTelco has the vision to expand its service delivery as it proposed satellite and 5G delivery to the remote regions. It is aimed to have the internet penetration rate in the household to be over 90% by the year 2030 and this through the improvement of the infrastructure. As a model of internet access and service provider, NKTelco spearheads the way to make North Korea as the next connected country.
