Dear Abdullah, i rather think it is sad to be so misinformed or rather oblivious to reality! Dubai's mantra for so long has been that they had to have the BIGGEST of everything - well, in the long run it often turns out that bigger is not necessarily better... And yes, please enlighten me as to the "world leading companies" that you mentioned in your post, because the ones making global headlines are usually the ones that failed at what they attempted to do...

There seems to be lot of "jealous" and"bitter" posters in the palm threads, where another Dubai company is getting lot of heat. Maybe you should post your views there. We would all be interested, for sure.

Abdullah, I am not sure I follow you. How is Telcoguy being bitter. He simply pointed out that Emirates are not the first to do this. Why are you being so defensive?

@abdullah I am very sorry to read your post. It must be sad to be so misinformed.
In the meantime, in case you decide that facts are more relevant than opinions:

Congratulations to Emirates to become the 26th customer of OnAir, the second company to provide broadband access on flight.

Dear Telcoguy

I have read many of your comments and you are clearly very jealous about the success of Dubai, the UAE and our world leading companies like Emirates.

Im very sorry you have these feelings, it must b very difficult to be so bitter

Congratulations to Emirates on this achievement - where other airline mess around, emirates leads - and thats a true world first

Emirates is catching up - but certainly following other Airlines who have the service in place since years. I have been enjoying it on Lufthansa for some time now!

Just came bad from Toronto and used the wifi service. I used the $7.50 for 5mb on my blackberry and it lasted the entire 13hours.mi had it on silent and just used BBM, whatsapp, email and Facebook. Didn't appear to bother anyone else around me... Will use it again for sure. And emirates ICE widescreen digital is the best in the world!!

SInce when is this an Emirates innovation? If anything, Emirates are playing catch-up...
