I am just throwing it out there for banter since IFE now is such a vital part of EDIG`s existence and that this rumor column was in the same body of information as the digEsystem news regarding the Airline Interior Show.

I`m sure 5 years from now this discussion will be used against me by the bashers pool...like I care.

``Q Wanna play Lets Pretend? Here goes: suppose a manufacturer of large airplane components started a new venture called Vapor Hookup that developed a wireless data system along with technology and engineering companies in the Midwest USA. The purpose of this venture is to provide ongoing data of various aircraft systems. Now, suppose they teamed with a big pipe provider-to-be, and a manufacturer of low cost, light weight IFE units. What would you have? Thats right, children, a new IFE paradigm and possibly a new vendor that really could take the single aisle market to a new place namely entertainment and connectivity! Or, you could have a very expensive piece of Vaporware.``

The more I read that I agree that the BIG PIPE PROVIDER is the broadband internet connection. They call it a new venture. How they structure that would be anybody`s guess.

It sure adds a different dimension to our little company if they are referencing the digeSYSTEM.
