Abstract

The article focuses on possible changes in the inflight entertainment industry. The inflight entertainment establishment is regrouping, pumping up the "wow" factor in seatback imagery and pushing hard to let Internet savvy passengers do at 30,000 feet what they're accustomed to doing on the street. However, an insurgency has been building over the past year, bent on convincing airlines that their IFE choices can be more portable, less costly and possibly a great new source of revenue. Last year, airline expenditures on inflight entertainment, cabin communications products and services were up 17 percent, reaching $1.6 billion.
