Comcast or the like could own this market by leveraging their existing market base. As far as costs go -- flyers are the prime advertising target yes?

P2P 30K feet up legal?

Well, I guess if you on aircraft flying 30 k feet up and downloading mp3's, RIAA cant do anything because you most of the time is over neautral teritory, oceans, ice etc!

Yes, but the aircraft you're flying on carries the US flag, so US laws apply... Still illegal... Up to the Captain to enforce it I guess

Re: Comcast

I lived in Hong Kong for ~20 years and still go back and forth frequently.

Give me a good business class seat, a good book and a couple of glasses of a good Merlot and I'm set for the 12-13 hour nonstop from Dallas-Ft.Worth to Tokyo or the 14 hr+ from San Francisco to Hong Kong.

The last thing I want to do on a long flight is get e-mails from my boss. A long flight is a great place to just relax.

P.S. I don't take my laptop to the bedroom either !

Worthless for me

As a US DOD government employee, I am REQUIRED to fly in the cattle car, even on a trip that takes 26 hours with a leg of 12 hours.

They only put this up where our contractors, richer people, and the people who make the rules fly.
