In-flight internet is readily available across the US, but that type of connectivity is almost unheard of in Europe. Regulators are coming round to the idea, and seeing an untapped opportunity, Inmarsat has announced its grand plan to create an EU-wide network for getting air travelers online. The satellite company is partnering with 4G providers to build an air-to-ground network thatll handle the data traffic, in the same way Gogo (and soon ATT) provides in-flight WiFi in the US.
