But you can get telemetry transmitted from the aircraft. As well as weather report and everything else.
The secret to this is to get the punters down back to fork over 20 or 30 dollars for the connection per flight. This pays for the equipment and the big satellite pipe to carry it all up and down to the ground station and into the Internet. Telemetry and the other stuff for running the flight tales up very little bandwidth and is a freebee, while the airline finds another profit center. Goodness knows they need some.
Next it will be yacking/non-yacking sections; child /non-child; peanut/non-peanut; etc the possibilities are endless for the creative.
