The international bandwidths for China, Japan, North Korea, South Korea, Mongolia and Taiwan are shown in the figure below - International bandwidth. The statistics have been collected from Mike Jenson 10/18/07 - International bandwidth by country, Internet World Stats and ITU. They clearly show two groups of countries; those which have reasonable available resources (such as Japan ~100 Gbps aggregate, South Korea ~ 50 Gbps, Taiwan and China ~100 Gbps aggregate) and those which are lagging far behind (such as Mongolia and North Korea). North Korea is not known to have public internet access in general. Also, information about Internet connectivity is unavailable, however, N. Korea is known to have an internet cafe maintained via a satellite connection.
