Delta Studio
Delta Air Lines (DAL) today announced it will begin offering free entertainment options on all of its domestic aircraft and two-cabin regional jets beginning on Aug. 1.

Looks like a direct stab at JetBlue.

Through the introduction of Delta Studio our customers have yet another reason to choose Delta and a different travel experience

The difference I see is full unrestricted access to all content in domestic for First and Eco comfort, and limited free access (that does include some movies but not all) for regular Y.
Same thing from the Delta app on your tablet through Wifi if the plane is not equipped with PTV.
What I don't quite understand is the difference in international. Is content now only partially free in international in Y, and only full free access for Eco Comfort and J?

Sounds pretty good. I guess the in-flight streaming will make up for lack of AVOD on domestic planes like the MD-88 and what not. Flights like LGA-MIA is about a 3 hour flight and perfect for a movie but most of the planes used on this route and similar routes have no seatback AVOD.
Good job DL.

This is a potential nightmare for those of us who use Gogo for actual work and pay money for it to the tune of $50 a month. Unless there's been some significant upgrade in bandwidth here, this is bad news for Gogo subscribers who rely upon the service to conduct actual business and make travel arrangements while on the fly so people can watch TV. It is not that uncommon for me to need the service to book a hotel and car while on a flight because I'm headed somewhere suddenly without advance arrangements having been made. The speed isn't that great as it is, but it gets the job done.
