deicer Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Biggest improvement in this is the Starlink system. Was on a cruise back in the spring, and for that many pax and crew (they all had devices) service was pretty good! Having a couple hundred pax on an aircraft is small compared to several thousand on a boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kip Powick Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 INTERESTING, BUT USELESS INFORMATION Could be used at any party where conversation has slowed, or perhaps is boring, or you could quiz your children about this fact. The correct spelling for what we usually write as “ wi-fi” or "wifi: is actually, Wi-Fi, which is a proper noun. Remember when just before stereo sound we went to Hi-Fi, which meant High Fidelity ?? Wi-Fi does NOT mean Wireless Fidelity. In 1999 a group of companies formed Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance,( WECA) which was promoting the wireless standard. The name was created by a marketing firm hired by WECA and Wi-Fi was chosen for the pleasing sound and similarity to “Hi-Fi” [high-fidelity] WOW !!…isn’t that fascinating ?? Have a nice weekend….
