Recently flew Southwest. While waiting for the plane to arrive I asked a pilot that was waiting also what the hump on the fuselage was.
I suspected it was WiFi and he confirmed it.
Must be really involved, aside from the electronics there’s pressurization problems to contend with also.
IIRC there was a charge to connect. $10 ?

A lot of that is already done during the letter checks, all the seats floors etc have to come out...

Interesting that they are still using the Continental logo on the tails of some aircraft...

Haven't flown lately so I've missed some of the "new" color schemes.

I just plug my router with wifi in and it broadcasts.
I wonder what will happen when someone starts watching xxx movies or does the airline filter this out?
