Deals in the North do have a marked tendency to go south. For example, a Thai telecom's plan to develop a mobile-phone network faltered after Kim's regime banned cell phones in 2004. Kelvin Chia, a Singapore-based lawyer who has worked with North Korean joint ventures since 2004, says many investors were spooked by the country's October 2006 nuclear test and the international fallout.
