Airlines Upgrading Wi-Fi

Airlines are attempting to up-grade the on board experience with better Wi-Fi. The problem is that there is just so much Wi-Fi and broadband to go around per airline and the more people are connected, naturally the more of that is gobbled up.

The provider that has most of the aviation market, Gogo, is upgraded their capacity so that soon as much as one half of the people on board any flight will be able to use the service without putting a huge drain on the system.

Another provider, ATG4, has added another modem to their service and most providers are increasing satellite capacity.

Oh well, remember the days when you were disconnected from the world while in flight? Sigh.
