Boeing Shifts In Air Broadband Plans
from the go-where-the-money-is- dept
Now that the major US airlines have pulled out of Boeing's internet in the air plans (known as Connexion), Boeing has received the necessary licenses to move forward. Of course, what's the use of moving forward when the major partners are all gone? So, now Boeing is talking about changing Connexion to focus on (what else?) military uses. So, for the time being, it seems the only way you're going to get email in the sky is to join the Air Force.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
