Southwest is not like other airlines. They've always done what others have not been able to do....stay small, give good fares, they keep adding more routes all the time while others are scaling back......and now this, WiFi.
I did a little research on Row 44, Ku band, and this In Flight Entertainment market before I decided to respond to this, which is the first time I've ever posted something on a public board such as this (most of the time because I really don't care one way or the other). Really fasciating stuff by the way (www.row44.com).
The Row 44 supplier that will be selling this sytem and putting them on the airplanes is not just like other choices. Depending on what they have agreed upon with Row 44, we could all see Internet/email, LiveTV, Mobile Phone/VoiP service, and even Airline Ops on each plane.
The other offerings out there give one or the other....not all. I sure hope that's what we're getting because I fly Southwest exclusivey and can't wait for this to get on their planes.
Thanks for getting all of this together for your passengers Southwest!! We love i!!
