Packets on a Plane

I was bummed to see that Boeing is terminating its Connexion in-flight broadband service.

I recently enjoyed the service on the SingaporeAir long-haul flight from SFO-ICN and it was amazing. Even made a VOIP call, because… I could. Worked flawlessly. Changed the way I thought about flying.

While a bummer for Boeing, hopefully this isn’t much of a setback for broadband in the sky.

    Hey,
    I received a link to this comment through a friend. I used to work on this technology. I am glad you enjoyed it. I finally had a chance to use it after I left in May after working there for a few years. It was exciting to work with that type of technology on a global scale. Too bad, it hasn’t worked out. Just wanted to say hello.
