Check out my interview below. Yes, that's me slurping one of Row 44's naughty tequila drinks at its APEX exhibit. Don't judge!
1) Some 200 Boeing 737s in Southwest Airlines' fleet are expected to be fitted with Row 44's Ku-band in-flight Internet solution by the end of this year, and Row 44 expects to have most of the installs done by the end of next year.
2) Row 44 is "talking to folks about some hybrid solutions where there is a little bit of overhead, a little bit of Wi-Fi, a little bit of their own device and so forth. Some, which have seat-backs, and how to do that kind of thing, so a little bit of this and a little bit of that."
3) A total of 40 Norwegian 737s are expected to be fitted with Row 44 by the end of this year. The company is in talks with other European carriers to bring its solution on board their aircraft.
4) Real-time credit card transactions on Row 44-fitted aircraft are around the corner!
