So, to spell it out, the question is not whether or not there are
non-porn sites in the .to domain. The question is whether or not there
are any Tongan activities in the Tongan domain? Since the US Consulate
of the Kingdom of Tonga isn't even a Tongan site one wonders just what
purpose this domain is serving.

The Tongan consulate in SF *is* Tongan territory, not US.  Seems like a
good place to keep a server to keep its traffic off the satellite to me.

The server with the tongan consulate net address appears to be a web
server for some software company and has nothing to do with Tonga as
far as I can tell.

Is it located at the Tongan consulate?
