People Like Internet Access In The Air
from the well,-duh... dept
Stunning news here. It turns out that if you offer internet access to people on airplanes, they seem to like it. 95% of those who used the new internet access on some Lufthansa flights found the experience to be worthwhile. On average, 50 to 80 people used the service per flight, and there was plenty of bandwidth to go around. I would imagine that the 5% who weren't happy had problems connecting or getting the system to work. Still, these results are pretty encouraging for those of us who can't wait to have internet access when we fly.
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
