June 25 (Asia Today) -- A South Korean civic leader proposed creating a satellite communications network modeled on SpaceX's Starlink to provide outside information to people in North Korea.
Jang Man-soon, chairman of the Committee for Ten Million Separated Families and a co-chair of Citizens' Solidarity for ONE KOREA, called the proposed system "Korea Link."
"If we place a system similar to Starlink over North Korea, we could inform North Koreans who have access to approximately 8.5 million mobile phones about the realities and conditions in South Korea," Jang said during an interview Thursday at the National Assembly in Seoul.
The figure was Jang's estimate and could not be independently confirmed.
