Inside a Gogo ATG4 installation

14 July 2014 By Seth Miller 2 Comments

There’s a lot of work which goes in to putting the Gogo hardware on to an airplane. Take a look inside a Delta 737-900ER as the kit is installed. Hard to believe that the first thing they do with a brand new aircraft is rip it apart like that.

Roaming coming to in-flight satellite providers

3 July 2014 By Seth Miller Leave a Comment

JetBlue extending free Fly-Fi trial

11 June 2014 By Seth Miller 2 Comments

Free wifi is good; on a plane is even better. And JetBlue’s FlyFi is the fastest service flying in the skies today which makes it pretty compelling. Of course, it is still free because it is a beta product which isn’t perfect. But still a nice price point.

Still the best in-flight internet. When it connects.

22 May 2014 By Seth Miller 7 Comments

The Fly-Fi in-flight internet product from JetBlue (same hardware as United’s 737s, too) remains the best connectivity solution I’ve ever used on a plane. Alas, there are still reliability issues. It is spectacular when it works, though.

Could patent wars skew the in-flight connectivity market?

15 May 2014 By Seth Miller 5 Comments

In-flight connectivity is improving rapidly as multiple companies work to improve the products on offer. New patent applications may slow that progress. Should we be concerned that the intellectual property battles will derail the current pace of innovation? Or is the IP protection a necessary part of the innovation process?
