North Koreans are very adept at doing without. I think a major problem for Kim Jong-un is the information about the rest of the world is leaking into his country over the Internet. I think it would please him to have black-outs.

Then again maybe this is the straw that breaks the camels back. Until recently it was illegal for women to wear pants. Women are speaking up because unless it's a political offense you won't go to jail. People have sim cards. They can be modified to call outside of Korea but if you get cought that would be considered political and you could be sent to jail.
