In a nation where rugged terrain and remote communities often hinder access to reliable internet, Starlink’s cutting-edge technology promises to bridge the digital divide, revolutionizing sectors such as education, healthcare, business, and resource development. The rest of the world, including all of our smaller Pacific neighbours have embraced Starlink for the benefit of their citizens already, and we need to catch up, rather than lock up our market and our people from the freedom and benefits that this cheap affordable and easily accessible technology will provide.”
