LONG-HAUL CONNEXION Lufthansa German Airlines will equip some 80 long-haul aircraft, including Boeing 747-400s and Airbus A330/340s, with Boeing's Connexion inflight Internet service beginning early next year. Lufthansa was the first carrier to test the broadband service [...] [the chairman] indicated recently that passengers would be willing to pay a $30 service fee ... But in announcing its decision, Lufthansa said it was considering a "host of payment options" including use of a passenger's frequent-flier bonus miles or a "nominal service access fee." German aviation authorities and the U.K.'s civial Aviation Authority have certified wireless applications for Connexion [...] British Airways is completing tests of Connexion. http://www.AviationNow.com/awst R -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
