Boeing Ending Connexion

After years of trying to coax passengers on International flights to use their expensive Internet connection, it looks like Boeing could be giving up. They have started looking for buyers for its multi-billion dollar Connexion service.

Connexion allows you internet access for $27 USD per flight. While this might be too much for many people, I don't think it will be the end of in-flight Internet access.

Still, even if Boeing does decide to drop the ax, this certainly won't be the last you'll hear about in-flight broadband, as airlines have shown that they'll do whatever they can to squeeze a few more bucks out of you after you've already shelled out for your ticket. Headphone rental fee, anyone?
