and you will NEVER see this service again until there 
is a monetary incenctive to offer said service.  So.. 
why is this still a discussion?

It's quite likely that on a grander scale of things, it's better economy 
that the few people who want to use their laptop the whole flight, do get 
two batteries, than doing the investment of putting AC power in all seats.


Otoh, more batteries on planes increases the risk of fire due to exploding 
batteries happening in the plane :P

so don't order so many ckts.  that is, somewhat, part of
the reason we are in this mess...  if the price is "so
low" then maybe one should look elsewhere.

best price != best [company|service|deal|blah..]

the "if you build it they will come.." strategy has
surely passed.  we will likely see some continued
consolidation as the telcos restructure (ie paix to be
sold yet again.)  capacity and usage within the
ramaining ixps will dictate the need for future growth.
