Momentum gathering behind in-flight web access
According to the CNN article: New heights for in-flight Internet, "No executive wants to arrive at their hotel room after a long-haul flight and have 100 e-mails waiting for them — one of the reasons why German carrier Lufthansa took the lead and installed in-flight Internet access last May."
The momentum seems to be building. Since the Lufthansa installation of Boeing’s Connexion service, Japan Airlines, All Nippon Airlines and Scandinavian Airlines have installed in-flight Internet, while Singapore Airlines, China Airlines, Korean Air and Asiana Airlines have announced their intent to install the Connexion system on long-range aircraft.
This desire by the airlines to "differentiate themselves" will hopefully lead to business travelers "expecting" Internet access on major long-haul business routes. Claims the article.
