Isolated nation North Korea has let in a glimmer of high-tech light by building a fiber-optic link to China and allowing its first Internet joint venture--an online lottery run by a South Korean company.
DPRKoreaLotto.com will start operating this week using the country's first high-speed Internet link via a cable to the Chinese border completed by North Korea's Ministry of Communications last month, according to one of the joint venture's founders.
