You take your aircraft out of service for 3-4 days to do the installation which includes the purchase of an external antenna. I'm sure that's way more than the $9,990 installation for chiimp.
Your new Viasat system is not perfect. Only 80% global coverage, Viasat satellite system not fully operational until 2020

I can see how a corporate jet with top executives would need full service internet for video conferencing. You'd get 30 gb of data for $6,995 per month. Is that enough? I'm not techy enough to answer that. If you'd need 60 gb that's $14,995 per month. I assume the prices in the photo below are competitive with other companies that offer business jet internet or Viasat wouldn't prominently display them at a major show.
So you've spent probably $30,000+ for installation and $83,940 for a year of minimum service from Viasat, $299,940 yearly for full service. I can see that for Fortune 500 execs even though flights would only be 6 hours or so and the plane would spend the vast majority of its time on the ground.
If you just want to keep in touch via text or email while airborne for a few hours, and not stream video you can get the chiimp system for $9,990 (installed in just a few hours with no holes drilled in your plane) and $3,588 yearly. Easy to see how, with the Iridium Next satellite system in use IPTK has "received multiple orders from both Europe and North America."
