IPTK on sale at .025 ask. Might see news this week.

Lufthansa Sytem's new Boardconnect Portable messaging/connectivity uses IPTK's fflya system for the connection. Lufthansa offering it at the big Boston show this week

"New generation of BoardConnect Portable
Lufthansa Systems (Stand 753) will introduce a new generation of its BoardConnect Portable system, with a new prototype on show. To create the efficient and robust portable IFE hardware, the company applied its experience of operating a portable IFE solution globally and for large fleets with more than 100 aircraft. This hardware has been designed to reduce the handling efforts of the IFE solution and at the same time enable more use cases for the digital aircraft.

The Mobile Streaming Unit (MSU) corresponds to a real server platform, including all necessary access points, while size and weight (less than 2kg) remain the same. Each MSU provides sufficient high-quality streams to support a typical single-aisle aircraft without any service degradation.
The BoardConnect Portable system has a modular structure and can be configured according to airline needs. Airlines can tailor their offerings regarding content, advertisements, retail and entertainment, or simply let Lufthansa Systems’ partners monetize the IFE for them.

On request the system can also be supplemented with low-bandwidth connectivity using Iridium NEXT (BoardConnect Portable/Link). The required antenna can be installed in a smart position of the cabin, with no STC required.

Besides messaging services the solution enables online payment and many other e-commerce use cases. The smart STC-free service is part of the Lconnect product range by Lufthansa Technik and only requires a minor modification."

(my emphasis)
Based on filings and news IPTK would get a percentage of the payment/ecommerce/messaging use.
