Here are a few highlights to look for:

Astronics shared their laptop battery study and it looks like there is going to be hole in the service provision if longer connectivity sessions are not enabled with electrical power. Boeing and Airbus are rapidly being dragged into network-centric aircraft. The good news is they are aware of the issues ahead. Big battles are looming in service provision - license VS unlicensed bandwidth, not to mention, there are providers on the ground and in the Clarke Belt who are coming online. The good news is passengers like this stuff! Internet, phone calls, email and so on. There may be money here for airlines and vendors alike. We should note those presenters who shared their data and thank them; AirCell, OnAir, Astronics, AeroMobile, Row44,ViaSat, Thin-Kom, Boeing, Airbus, ITS Electronics…just to name a few. It is the data from you folks that makes these functions useful and informative. Thank You and the WAEA! http://airfax.com/blog/index.php/2009/07/21/waea-single-focus-workshop-elevated-to-dont-miss-status/
