<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Overall all of these new feature are great news - especially SMS, Seat to Seat and AC power - Rock On QF. My only question now is with both CX and BA trialing and implementing onboard email/web access, why is QF falling behind in this respect?</font>

With QF's history of announcing such service upgrades a minimum of 5 years prior to implementation, don't hold your breath for it. However, I must admit that the SMS announcement is only 1 month before they start rolling it out. Note that the first aircraft will be fitted by September, with others to follow until early 2004.
