Jeff Jarvis Throws Connexion Some Love

by Teresa Valdez Klein on January 11, 2006

Jeff Jarvis conqueror of brands everywhere threw some love Connexion’s way, commenting that he didn’t think Connexion’s new price structure was a bargain, “but what the hell?”

I agree with Jarvis, $26 bucks isn’t all that much when you’re talking about 24 hours of Internet access from the cabin of an airplane. It’s less than dinner and a movie, and really worth the cost during those cramped-up flights. Just the novelty alone would be worth it for me.

UPDATE: 1/13/06 8:30 I was reminded by a reader that when I throw Connexion some love of my own, I should mention that this blog is sponsored by Connexion. That does not mean, however that my love for them is any less genuine. I cannot wait to be on a flight with Internet access.

Probably a good price for business users who are going to be reimbursed by employers, or write it off.

But still a bit to high for the home user who just wants to take care of email, play games, or surf the web.

I’m an internet fan, and depending on the length of the flight, at this price, I’d have to think twice.

And remember that Connexion By Boeing offers group discounts for businesses. It doesn’t seem that bad, when some hotels still charge for their in-room internet access.
