That would only help the main island of Tonga, but none of the other 
islands - until the domestic cable is fixed. But by the time the 
domestic cable is fixed, the international cable will have been fixed 
for some time already.

In any case, I understand the Starlink-for_Tonga idea started with a 
Twitter exchange with Mr. Musk on the topic of shipping Starlink user 
terminals to Tonga.
