News : Ryanair to move to new in-flight communications partner

I have to say, on the few occasions I was flying on a compatible aircraft I enjoyed this service while it lasted. At least it was useful for free incoming text-alerts at 40,000 feet! However, perhaps that is precisely the problem. I never saw anybody actually make or take a call!
Perhaps short-haul flights and cost-conscious passengers are not the best combination for GSMoB. I could have told them earlier that this will fail.
Their search for a new partner shouldn't take too long, as AeroMobile is the only other GSMoB-provider in the world using compatible hardware (GSM1800 and uplink through Inmarsat).
