<human>: Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?

The reason hoax with Pirate Bay being hosted from North Korea got me thinking.  Could NK actually setup and ISP (probably via their state owned ISP company) to for free or for profit host sites that the western world (us in the US) try our best to shutdown?

As far as I have read NK has pretty limited bandwidth at the moment, and their pipes would probably be easily saturated by even a single popular site. 

However lets say that they did get a couple of high profile websites for their ISP.  Perhaps PirateBay, pastebin and  WikiLeaks. Would not the upstream provider be forced by (us in the US) shut down the link to NK?

(No I am not saying that NK is  pro democracy or any of the sorts but being able to poke a little at us in the US might be fun for them. And since their own population would not have any access to it, the risk for the regime would be non existant).

Is it possible for NK to buy bandwith enough to keep TPB, Wikileaks etc running?  Or would us in the us be able to through coercion, trade agreements and military might be able to stop for instance China from supplying fat pipes? (if they had the means to pay).

It makes sense that cutting a country like Sweden from the Internet would be difficult, at least politically, but also technically, but a country like NK with almost no presence and little usage could be cut off from the net without much of anything throwing a fuss
<bot>: Would the US make it impossible for NK to buy bandwidth/fat pipes for hosting sites like PirateBay/WikiLeaks/pastebin/chatroulette?
