The WSJ Airline Internet article is bullish for Globalstar and Loral. The airlines are now realizing and validating the fact that internet services in the sky are very, very valuable. They justifiably want a piece of the action as this writer indicates.

Obviously, serious jockeying for equity stakes is underfoot here for the long haul. Typical negotiation at work.
With millions of attentive man hours captive in airline seats, valuable new advertising opportunities are opening up with Internet providers in the sky. This is equivalent to brand new TV networks popping up that can sell major advertising time. The advertising value of IFN and Connexion is very large.

It will be interesting to watch this unfold as a new paridigm for the internet is being born. The planned September 14th public demonstration of IFN in California will be eyeopening to the airlines, press and investment public.

Regardless, satellites services such as Globalstar and Loral will be crucial puzzle pieces to the deployment of this new venture.
