Just read this article ‘Apple iPad could revolutionise travel guides and inflight entertainment’ .
I suddenly had a vision of passengers bringing on board their own entertainment tailored to their own preferences, not a bad vision considering the considerable investment made by operators into the IFE industry.
Just imagine there would be no installation/maintenance of cable to every cabin seat, expensive hardware failure, happy passengers playing Monopoly, Scrabble etc via WiFi, not forgetting access to operators website to update/up sell products such as Car hire, Hotels, Duty Free etc.
Operators would become ISP’s ….. everybody’s happy, could this be a vision of the future ?
