Tonga's main internet connection to the rest of the world has finally been restored more than five weeks after the huge volcanic eruption and tsunami severed a crucial undersea cable.
“It's a huge relief when you know things have come to the end and are working well,” Fonua told The Associated Press. “It's one step forward for the country.” Fonua said that entrepreneur Elon Musk's SpaceX company had also been helping restore connections through its network of low-orbit satellites called Starlink.
Officials in neighboring Fiji said SpaceX had established a station there to help restore connections in Tonga.
