OT: Boeing to discontinue Connexion

I tried a search (since this was announced in August) but found nothing.

I thought it was a phish attack at first because of some fishy email headers, but the link they post is legit. (I did a search from the Boeing page)

This is quite disappointing to me.

Boeing is now working with its customers to facilitate an orderly phase out of the Connexion by Boeing service. Passengers traveling on Internet-equipped flights will be able to use the service until it is phased out which will occur between now and the end of the year, depending on the airline. For the full text of the company's announcement click here.

Starting on Oct. 2nd, 2006, the in-flight Internet service will be free of charge.

If you have any questions about the service termination, please review the frequently asked questions listed below. You may also contact our Customer Care Center via e-mail or telephone (information listed below) with any questions or comments.
