Dear Christian, indeed. Were they advertizing anything regarding 
expected data throughput? I mean, any download/upload speed info?

Once heard that " Inmarsat ", same company getting a lot of publicity 
these days for all the wrong reasons is almost a monopoly as a backbone 
provider. Checked their website and the new featured system promises up 
to 50mbps per (air)ship.

Considering the sat technology I once knew could only offer decent 
download but not upload, for your average 250-300 passenger plane, if 
they manage to sell it for 10% of their customers, you do the math.

Regards,
