How would you equip North Koreans to communicate with the outside world?

Well, it's got about the same surface area as New Mexico.

There's a lot of coastline, so if you accept one-way communication, we could try to encourage citizens to throw message-in-a-bottle into the Sea of Japan or the Yellow Sea, and then try to catch them later.

You could teach citizens to put a white or a black 1 square meter tile on their roof each day, and use that as a low bit-rate message... Using satellites.

Sat phones occur to me.

Hmm… using satellites/sat phones is an interesting idea.

Do you mind further explaining your idea about putting a white or a black tile on the roof?

Do you think anonymity is necessary? If so, how would you ensure it?

Do you think cell phones are a viable tool in that context?
