Quote ...Google acknowledgment comes days after Singapore Airlines faced criticism for installing cameras into the backs of some of its planes' seats as part of a new in-flight entertainment system...Singapore confirmed the cameras' existence on Sunday, but said they had been disabled and added that it had no plans to use them... End of Quote...
Just thinking...
Interesting to find out how long it takes to install these on the flight deck. Would be the birth of skyskyping !-) and skymonitoring (fatigue,..). If 2-way is possible someone will use it at some time. No brainer to predict a big fight about privacy versus productivity and other uses.
When you could connect flightdeck ipads to the 'airplane backbone' you could of course already do this. Wonder about the robustness of them though.
Can already see some interesting discussions about robustness, backbone(s), tunneling, encryption, ...
This could develop fast if parties involved find a common ground...for either separate
or connected flight phases.
