Satellites on Virgin Blue

[Adam G]

I fly on DJ services at least once a week and see significent uptake of the system (myself noften included!).

The system now appears to be much more reliable then it was when it was first installed.

Does anyone else here see Live2Air as a one off consumer market, following what CBB was doing?

CBB offered 4 channels of TV, but also Internet, and reported cost of $500K per aircraft it was installed on, plus weight.

Boeing, bigger than Virgin looked at it, afew years later pulled out, not worth the money.

Missing CBB I loved being online while flyng for 12 hours!

Give me that domestic and maybe a chance, but Foxtel, Phft!
