Some developments today that may have a very positive impact on IPTK.

"Lufthansa Systems presents new prototype of BoardConnect Portable
BoardConnect Portable can also be supplemented with Iridium NEXT technology upon request. Known as BoardConnect Portable/Link, it has a low bandwidth and enables services such as messaging and online payment. The required antenna can be installed in a suitable position in the cabin without the need for an STC."

The Iridium Next part is IPTK's fflya system. It's already in use but a worldwide rollout at the show could be very meaningful.

"Airlines wary of inflight connectivity disruption
Airline customers are well aware of the financial troubles plaguing satellite-enabled inflight connectivity providers.

“This is what keeps me up at night,” Amanda Fish, Delta Airlines onboard products general manager, said Sept. 10 at the World Satellite Business Week conference here. “Should something catastrophic happen, we will feel the effects of it."

"In April, Panasonic Avionics agreed to pay the U.S. government $280.6 million to resolve bribery charges. GoGo plans layoffs and an end to airline equipment subsidies as it explores options including splitting the company. Global Eagle filed late financial documents to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission earlier this year and hired two chief executives in 13 months."

IPTK's fflya system could be installed overnight and would provide limited connectivity. IPTK's fflya system is not connected with the "satellite enable connectivity providers" mentioned above.
