Air Tahiti Nui will install free Starlink Wi-Fi on its four Boeing 787-9s in 2027, replacing a Panasonic system with pricing that's currently pretty outrageous.
Funny to even call Panasonic semi-usable.
Gonna be funny when Elon goes on another ketamine bender, and shuts all these airlines off on the whim of a perceived spite, even for a little bit.
Not wishing that, but wouldn't bet against it either.
Just to let you know, not all people are influencers. Alot of people could care the F less if there is wifi. Some people actually dread the day when you all are on ZOOM calls/ FaceTime calls "oh I love you and miss you and will call you as soon as I reach the hotel, love you...." Respect for others is not in common logic in 2026.
Rob--very well stated. Unfortunately, it's coming, whether we want it or not. Remember all the talk about net neutrality? When was the last time you heard it? Money interests will always win out.
Steve, that may be true more often than I’d like it to be, but it doesn’t have to be that way. If it’s important enough, we all can and should fight back against those monied interests for the greater good. Just saying, let’s not resort to nihilism.
