Re: Monday, December 6, 2004
Connexion by Boeing has the fastest in-flight (Mbps) service for airlines now, and they have said very bluntly: expect domestic carriers to have high-speed Internet service just about...not soon. Probably years. European and Asian carriers are putting in Connexion which will soon have competition from a faster version of Tenzing (available in late 2005). But in the U.S., there's no money to try to make money because, in part, the planes need more retrofitting than over-water planes. New Airbus and Boeing planes can be purchased with Wi-Fi installed, and that will eventually turn the tide -- by 2015 or 2020.
