"Sky-Fi" cost keeps shifting...up and down

Paul Heymont 2/27/158:48 AM

The more it becomes clear that inflight Wi-Fi is what passengers want, the less clear it is just how much will be available and how much it will cost. Airlines are switching—with costs involved—to satellite based services from vendors such as Gogo that can offer more bandwidth.

And while Gogo and the others are raising prices to the airlines, the airlines seem to be feeling their way into new pricing models. Some of them include some free service for premium seats, others include limited free service for all, and more available for a fee, etc.
