AT&T Won't Do In-Flight Wi-Fi After All

Posted by timothy on from the back-to-the-ebooks dept.

jfruh writes In-flight Wi-Fi services tend to be expensive and disappointingly slow. So when AT&T announced a few months ago that it was planning on getting into the business, with customer airlines being able to connect to AT&T's LTE network instead of slow satellite services, the industry shook. But now AT&T has announced that, upon further review, they're not going to bother.

    LTE was touted as the Next Big Thing by telco providers. Not any more now. Telcos have become fairly conservative, technology-wise. Is that a worldwide trend ?
