Boeing Connexion, No More Wi-Fi at 30,000 ft?

symonty writes "After 6 years and one billion dollars, Boeing is evaluating whether or not their wifi for planes connectivity business can be a viable business. " I've never had the actual pleasure of evaluating it or not; some folks, however, have said it's a great service.

The cheaper alternative.

Plus freaking out the other business class passengers when we set up a live stream and demonstrated the various positions you can put the seat into live from 30,000 feet to our friends back home.

There should be some badge or other distinction you get from the Mile High Club for broadcasting the various positions you tried out with your girlfriend.

When will it end...

First they took away the free peanuts. Now the paid Wi-Fi is going away too. What's next? The seats?

Jeez that's terrible,

Plane ticket from Munich to Bangkok: $950.00.

Connexion for the 11-hour flight: $19.95.

Mod points at 10,000 metres over Kazahkstan: priceless.
