BBC/WGBH -- The World's Technology Podcast|WTP 182: North Korea Goes Mobile, Cable Cuts Hamper Net Access, and Cashless Papers in London Episode
I can't believe we give this show away for free sometimes. What a line-up. First, an Egyptian telecom company signs a deal to bring, wait for it, cell phone access to North Korea. Then, undersea cables get cut off the coast of Egypt, and millions worldwide are left with super slow, or no, internet connections. Then, we'll hear about efforts to digitally reconstruct paper files shredded by the East German government's security service during the waning days of the Cold War. And finally, London's Evening Standard newspaper introduces a cashless payment system at kiosks across the capital.
