That Was The Week That Was: 26 February – 2 March

Written by Aviation Advocacy on . Posted in TWTWTW

Once, Barcelona’s Mobile World Congress was relevant to aviation mostly because extra flights were needed to get delegates there.  Not any more.  Last week kicked off with a further merger of aviation and telecoms.  OneWeb announced a partnership  with Airbus, airtel, Delta, and Sprint – the Seamless Air Alliance.   The problems with in-flight connectivity are myriad, but they are not technical.  ‘Seamless’ is an inspiring goal.  In commercial aviation, ubiquitous gate-to-gate service is the Holy Grail.  It can mean telecommunications authorisations for every earth station on every aircraft from every jurisdiction you fly to – a tangled regulatory morass.  We wish the Seamless Air Alliance bonne chance.
