i'm sorry i don't check everysingle detail of my tickets... i don't go around looking at all the adverts. I pay my cash get on the plane, go where i'm going.
This service they've done for a LONG while ... its like the seats that fold almost flat (they don't fold totally flat) they've like only been advertising them a while, but they've been using them for ages.
And you've never seen them advertise about the lounges which can be used in-flight which are situated right next to the stairs were a second lot of seats used to be... but its where you can do alot of business now.
the net service cost ME $750 extra ontop of my ticket price, not €30 (£18) ... which would make it more Widespread no?
because now you don't have to be earning a mint just to afford the service, perhaps those flights have faster connections than 128k (as broadband usually is described starting at 256k) ... but also the fact it is now like just a little extra will mean MORE will be able to afford and use it inflight, perhaps even oh i dunno maybe they now have more than th 5-10 terminal limits!
thats mainly why the costs have been so high, because the limited terminals allowed to be jacked in and turned on - they know they can charge what they want and people who want or need to be online WILL pay it.
it like flying concorde, you only get that IF you need to be across the world in a few hours - you certainly don't get it for the comfort level or whisper quiet ride. lmao
yet the price just to travel a small distance is over a grand!
if you think about it, you limit the number of flights that will use this service at that price - you'll notice more people going onto those flights then you'll know that you'll be able to afford to run it in more planes.
i mean that aside there was one time that i didn't use the in-flight CAT5 connection port and instead used my mobile modem and plugged it into the phonejack ... the only annoying thing is that it cuts you off after like an hour - so you just recall and log back on
it still runs quicker than my home modems at 72k
[edit-]
look at it like this 5 terminals at $750 a go is quite a bit right? ($3,750/flight)
so say you have 60-70 people (thats about the whole of business and first class combined right?) paying $30 so your still making quite a bit($2,100/flight)
because they know people and business's won't be willing to pay steep amounts to use this service on a daily/weekly basis ... i mean first time i had it was because it was all paid for me
Tsu'va Oni Ni Jyuuko Fiori Sei Tau!
One block follows the suit ... the whole suit of blocks is the path ... what have you found?
