Hot Topic: Bits and Pieces
After every trade show it seems we always have bits of perfectly good data that we are never able to turn into a whole Hot Topic. Eureka! How about a story on the pieces?
-
For
some time now we have been teasing Greg Fialcowitz and John Guidon that
they have been selling vaporware out of a piano box. Shame on us and
surprise, they sent us pictures to prove they are real and have upscale
offices in Westlake Village, CA. Apologies to Row 44 and to prove our
sincerity, below is a link to their website. At Toronto they showed off
their 4 aircraft LRU’s, an antenna and radome, and cabin wireless LAN
and announced their first deal with Alaska Airlines. Row 44 will be
offering airlines wireless Internet, IPTV, data and telephony services
via Hughes Networks and satellites! We promise a full interview real
soon!

- There is still another IFE Conference
called the International IIR Conference, January 28 - 29 in Hamburg,
Germany. Besides the location in January, we liked the content - whoever
was involved really knows IFE and the hot buttons. Check it out below.
