Hmmm,
Doesn't seem to be any information out on the Internet as yet (as I write) about Tonfon's introduction of Telepony Services in Tonga.
So, here in short is what we have learned from the 'opening' service and garnered from the Internet.
Tonfon will provide local/international telephony at an as yet to be annouced 'cheaper' price for all the Tonga islands, beginning with the three major island groups (Tongatapu, Ha'apai, and Vava'u.) This service will also include Internet/Data and Video.
The claim to fame will be that all the Tonfon services will be based on IP (Internet Protocol) and is using some leading technologies in this area.
a) IP Wireless services by Telos Technology (www.telostechnology.com)
b) Satellite Services by GlobeComm Systems (www.globecommsystems.com)
A disjoint group of Tongan nationals got together over a dysfunctional mailing list in 1995 to discuss navel gazing topics that lead to increased confusion and further dis-information. After a few wild and tangental discussions some trodded back to reality while others continued to pursue the electric dream through branched out web sites, discussion forums.
NoMoa is one of those branched projects, resurrected as a beginnings for codifying precious knowledge on paper. The electronica forum is a wonderful space and we have learned a lot, but in the third world paper is difficult enough to come by let alone electronic dreams. To pass on knowledge, skills and information, NoMoa.com is a group of Nationals who will attempt to codify this stuff in a more accessible print medium.
