So which is it? Is there technology onboard that restricts the number of units receiving power? And are there threads "proving" as much?
I don't know what it proves, but I've been given the same line by UA flight attendants on the need to have rotating brown outs on the at seat power on the 737.
I'm sure that they will eventually offer an enhancement where you can swipe your credit card and obtain power throughout the flight.
