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.

Twitter exchange with Mr. Musk on the topic of shipping Starlink user
terminals to Tonga.
