Ulrich,



Thanks for the article re "Starlink banned in Tonga".


I live in Tahiti and depend on DSL with very poor service.



French Polynesia has a problem as its inhabitants are scattered over an
area the size of  Europe on 84 islands.


It would seem that Starlink would be a perfect, economical solution for
Polynesia's communication problem.


However,  that would compete with the government-owned communication
provider.  Thus the government is taking a long time to decide upon
authorization.


I can find little information in public media as to the deliberations about
the decision.


I have applied to Startlink but no indication if and when operation is
permitted.


Maybe you could shine some light on the subject.


I hear many are bringing their terminals from France and operating fine
here.  Should I do the same?


John
