In return for the use of the .tk domain, Freedom Registry pays
part of the money it earns to the people of Tokelau. In fact, one-sixth
of the country’s economy comes from the .tk domain. In addition,
Zuurbier has brought connectivity to the nation. Prior to his arrival, the
country had four phone lines that provided only low-bandwidth, dialup
connections to the Internet. Today, citizens have Internet access
via the satellite connection provided by Zuurbier. There are now 120
computers on the island, although the power still goes off at 10 PM.
