Aviation Broadband This Week - Stay Tuned!




American Airlines Wi-Fi News Story
No, they are not going to use an air-to-ground network for JFK-LHR flights. Reporter says "intercontinental", but means "transcontinental". But misreading the teleprompter is better than misinterpreting the impact of technology, and as airline broadband becomes more common, we won't be surprised if the press develops a few fear-mongering stories about the "danger" of wi-fi signals at 30,000 feet.





Aircell In Flight Broadband

A good overview of Aircell's service. Watch out for the special appearance by a legendary board member. Wondering who that might be? Few hints - He created Sabre, is developing a VLJ-based air taxi service, and wants to see broadband added to passenger jets, but did not want to keep olives in passenger meals.
