In-flight Internet builds on Boeing plan
Airlines and service providers seeking to deliver high-speed Internet services to passengers say they've learned from Boeing Co.'s 2006 decision to pull the plug on its ambitions to outfit its planes with a similar service. Analysts say Boeing's failed Connexion online service was costly to install and operate, resulting in large expenditures before getting a single paying customer. An industrywide downturn triggered by the 2001 terrorist attacks made the system an even tougher sell to struggling airlines. Among other things, JetBlue Airways Corp., AMR Corp.'s American Airlines and Virgin America are today turning to air-to-ground connections to avoid Boeing's expensive satellite fees.

ICQ founders reveal Internet TV network
Their concept is for surfers and professionals alike to upload content, which undergoes a packaging and rating process, and then gets broadcast like regular television. KnockaTV has launched the alpha version of its website, accessible as a pilot run to about 5,000 people. The true website should be up in a few months. So far KnockaTV has raised $5 million, in a financing round led by the Evergreen venture capital fund. The KnockaTV concept is 100 percent browser-based. Sources of professional television material include Ministry of Sound, Shocking Humor and more. The startup intends starting with three channels: Knocka One, presenting the "Best of" genre - the best shows on Internet; Kilo Watt, a music channel; and Candy, a channel devoted to professional and amateur fashion models. In the future KnockaTV intends to add more channels, based on public demand.
