International connectivity
• Currently on satelliteo Link to Intelsat IS18 via Spark NZ
• Current capacityo 32.5M Total
o 25M Down (shared)
o 7.5M Up (2.5M to each island)
• Future connectivityo Submarine cable is an ambition

Pricing of connectivity
• Current pricing o significantly declined since June 2015
• Present vs Futureo From an investment perspective (at same bandwidth capacity):
• Current satellite price is expensive than investing in cable to the next 25 years

Developments on connectivity
• Future is under reviewo High level – NZ MFAT and Teletok
• Submarine cable:o 2 potential providers – SX Next and the Tui Samoa
• Satelliteo Cable prevails, satellite remains as redundancy link
o Otherwise redundancy antennas will be put up soon straight final review

Challenges pertaining to access cable
• Access to better connectivity on submarine cableo Solution
• Geographical nature and remoteness
o Key enabler of Tokelau national development
• e-health e.g. telemedicine
• e-government
• remote education
• video conference
o Enables new business opportunities e.g. development of tourism
o Makes life easier

Challenges in the islands
• Small market size
• Economies of scale (impractical)
• Low purchasing power
