And you need a license to operate VSAT in Fiji (as well as to operate an
ISP), which is near impossible to get on the mainland, as TFL can provide
you the service you require.

For SCC, FINTEL and TFL have direct access to SCC. Tho last time I looked,
TFL peering is not very good.

FINTEL: http://bgp.he.net/AS9241
TFL: http://bgp.he.net/AS45349

And there is the University of the South Pacific which is not a provider
of any Internet Service
http://bgp.he.net/AS24390

The fun part of all of that, is that the interconnection of these 3 AS is
done overseasŠ FAIL!
