Where does it say that to operated in a ccTLD you must physically be
located in that country?

Moore Electronics Ltd., a company physically located in Tonga
http://www.tongatapu.net.to/sponsors/tess/default.htm
Tonga Electronic Secretary Service, a company physically located in Tonga
http://www.tongatapu.net.to/tonga/news/default_l.htm
is filled with lots of businesses in the Kingdom of Tonga
Since the above links prove that their is indeed Tongan activities, can we
move on.
