Lost Connexion!

When there is really a big hype about internet and Web 2.0 and accessing everything over the internet, even your files, documents, codes & spreadsheets, I really don't understand how Boeing lost its interest in the same.

As per Boeing, they don't really foresee a big market for the inflight Internet broadband service and hence, they have decided to pull off their respective project called Connexion! Man! That is like solid 6 years of investment and will really be fruitful if it would have gone through. Though, they see this as good for the company from long term perspective, I would say this is just in benefit of short term gain against that of their competitor Airbus. Bad move!!

I mean, people will be more than happy to spend some entire international flight with computer and internet browsing for some cheap hourly rates and that sure, would make a big business for any airlines who are more than willing to invest on the same. Aren't we seeing a big difference the hotel chains which give internet service are making ?

I just hope, Lufthansa would atleast continue their internet facility implementation in their jets...
