Oh bugger, if I only had some laptop space

Last week LiveTV had some friendly fun at the expense of in-flight broadband providers. Executives distributed small Praying Mantis figurines as swag at the WAEA show. But what was the message? "That's what broadband is like at the back of the plane," quipped LiveTV vice president of sales and marketing Mike Moeller.

Check out the Praying Mantis below (hey, I scanned the bugger into my computer just for you!) and then compare the insect's signature pincher-like forelegs to the now rather famous photo of an economy passenger struggling to handily use the Internet onboard an aircraft. A tight squeeze for sure. And what about all those sleepyheads?
