And what would it matter if its offline, they already block their population. What exactly is offline?
The Kim of the moment, the elite, a few journalists, and the like. And, assuming they actually did the exploit in country and didn't outsource it to the Chaos Computer Club (or whomever), their crack team of Sony takedown hackers.
There is a separate, inside DPRK only, network for the hoi polloi.

The DPRK Internet is apparently back. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-30584093 I suspect its absence was much more interesting that its presence will be.

I was remembering events (perhaps unfairly) from decades ago, did not mean to cast any aspersions on their current activities, and am sorry if that offended anyone. Regards Marshall Eubanks
