Gigaom: Airline passengers failed to show GoGo has an illegal monopoly on in-flight prices even though the company’s ten-year contracts affect 85% of all wired airplanes.
Current airplane Wi-Fi sucks. It's borderline usable and very expensive. Trying to get any work done on the super slow Wi-Fi feels like you've teleported back in time to the dial-up era.
Faster in-flight Wi-Fi from Gogo Inc., the largest in-flight internet provider, is coming to U.S. airlines... in 2018, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Gogo's 2Ku satellite broadband service to commercial aircraft will provide more than 100 megabits per second per aircraft in 2017. Gogo said higher speeds are not crucial to airline customers. "We've taken the issue off the table"
American Airlines has gone non-Gogo, striking a deal with Southern Californian communications company ViaSat to bring satellite-powered WiFi to 100 Boeing 737..
They are doing something really good that others should also think to do. Yes but that internet service would raise the price of the fare and services we avail.
