Air-to-Air Broadband
Inflight broadband services is something we’ve liked for years. Why? Satcom love, baby.
Connexion by Boeing was a real winner. In fact, it’s probably still being used by Air Force One and other U.S. agencies — especiallly over the Pacific via GE-23. Ed loved it, as did most users who’ve experienced it.
We like Row 44 now, since they’ve got satcom love working for them. In the U.S., there are two other options, but they use ground-based communications systems to make the connection. Alaska Airlines (see above aircraft with satellite antenna housing) and Southwest are using Row 44’s equipment and service. Good decision.

No VoIP, ey? I’m sure there’s a hack for that.
