Roy, I've been watching this company for a while but haven't taken a position yet. On recent trips to Syracuse to watch Cornell hoops, I flew JetBlue. They have 24 channels of TV (Direct TV?) for free with each seat. One of the channels is a map showing the plane's location, speed and altitude. When the plane banks sharply, the TV will sometimes be lost and a message appears saying the signal is temporarily lost due to movement of the plane. This made me wonder what kind of system was being used to track the satellite. On the top of each plane is a flat circular raised area that looks very much like pictures of the KVH antennas on RV's.
Do you know who is supplying the antennas/satellite tracking for the Airbus A320's that JetBlue flies?
This could become a very large market if other airlines follow JetBlue's lead.
Bob

Re: FOG's on trains

This is good publicity, but I wonder how many FOG's would be sold if this system ramps up. I would guess only one engine per train would have the system, so not a lot of sales.

We need FOG's in every commercial truck, or better yet, every automobile. Maybe that time will come, soon, with KVHI still the seller of choice.
