27 October 2011 By Seth Miller 10 Comments

There was plenty of news in this morning’s quarterly earnings call for United Airlines.

Another potential setback for LiveTV’s in-flight internet service

22 August 2011 By Seth Miller 5 Comments

It seems that in-flight entertainment and connectivity provider LiveTV just cannot catch a break in getting their in-flight internet product to a deliverable state. First there was the Kiteline product, built on the back of the old Airfone bandwidth spectrum and only ever live on a single plane. That project fell apart when they were […]

22 March 2011 By Seth Miller 3 Comments

When Continental Airlines announced their deal with LiveTV to provide in-flight television service a couple years ago there was an additional piece to the deal. LiveTV was also supposed to provide in-flight internet service via their Kiteline product. It was going to be lighter (i.e. cheaper) for the airlines and cheaper for passengers, offering basic […]

End of the line for Kiteline

14 April 2010 By Seth Miller 10 Comments

The in-flight internet connectivity market has lost a competitor with the news that the Kiteline product is officially shelved. Kiteline was initially launched as a lower bandwidth cellular solution to in-flight connectivity, essentially the same concept as the Aircell gogo product, but with limited features – only certain websites would work – and a lower […]

Kiteline struggling to get off the ground

10 February 2010 By Seth Miller 1 Comment

Although jetBlue was very early in getting in-flight internet connectivity off the ground with their Kiteline product, they have fallen well behind competitors Aircell and Row44 in the deployment race. Kiteline came into the market with quite a splash back in 2007.  Unfortunately the progress since then has not lived up to the hype. Indeed, […]
