Boeing's In-Flight Internet Service To Shutdown
Friday, August 18, 2006 by Zoomba | Discussion: WinCustomize News
Boeing yesterday announced that they would be abandoning their Connexion service, which launched in 2004 and provided passengers Internet access for either hourly rates or a flat fee. The service involved an expensive satellite network to provide the network connectivity globally, and was disregarded by most carriers who are choosing to go to cheaper cellular-based services. For airlines that did carry the service, uptake by consumers was not quite what the company had hoped.
Pricing for the service was roughly $30 US for an all-flight connection, or you could pay in 1, 3 or 9 hour blocks depending on the length of your flight.
