Boeing Axes In-Flight Internet

Here’s some more bad news for travellers, Boeing has just announced that it is scrapping its Connexion division, which was behind the plane-maker’s in-flight Internet service. Boeing has spent upwards of $1.5billion over the past six years rolling out the satellite-based system and users were mostly enthusiastic but clearly there weren’t enough of them and according to The Seattle Times Business & Technology report it just didn’t bring in enough revenue to make it viable and it will close down by the end of the year.
