Jetsgo will initially make the units available on flights of three hours

and Florida. Passengers will be able to rent a digEplayer(TM) for $10.
"Jetsgo is proud to once again be an innovator in the Canadian airline
industry," said Michel Leblanc, president of Jetsgo. "Customers can choose
from a wide range of movies, TV shows or music to entertain themselves on
longer flights."
Forty digEplayers(TM) will be available on each plane, and they will be in
service in July. Jetsgo has an exclusivity agreement with APS for Canadian
airlines.
"The digEplayer(TM) is perfect for airlines like Jetsgo and their fleet of
MD-83s and Fokker 100s," said Bill Boyer, chairman and founder of APS. "We
are excited to have Jetsgo as the first airline in Canada to acquire our
system and we look forward to its passengers using our technology and dynamic
content for many years."
Content will be refreshed every 60 days, giving even the most frequent
flyers enough programming variety to meet their needs. Warner Bros. and 20th
Century Fox currently have content provision agreements with APS, and
additional studios are to be announced. Films in both English and French are
made available one month ahead of store rentals. Initial titles available
include Troy, Master and Commander, Friends, and The Simpsons.
