This was the advantage of the Connexion (sp?) service. Truly global reach so you could be flying to Germany or Israel and keep in touch. HughesNET does not have that. Probably never will, unless they can find some way to take advantage of Boeing's satellite (not much chance w/the military renting them, but one can hope).

Conxection ranged from $10 - $20 depending on length of flight. Maybe free for MVPG members? Wouldn't that be sweet? Or free for FC pax?
