INTERNET TODAY
Mobile connectivity
Is a growing technology in our society today. Its growth is
fueled by the desire of people to remain connected to
"the network" even while traveling.
BROADAND
The word is just about every internet user’s these days is
“BROADBAND”. We have so mush more data to send
and download today, that is audio files, video files and
photos, that it’s clogging on our wimpy modems . Many
internet users are switching from to cable modems and
digital subscribers lines(DSLs) to increase their bandwidth.
SPEED
The need is a fast, reliable, secure, easy and quick
access of internet.
Wired base connection
Conventional telephone lines, for example, are capable of transmitting only 56,000 bits
(56k) per second under ideal conditions - too slow and often unreliable for large file
transmission.
Broadband
Cable or direct subscription lines (DSL) lines can handle up to 100 million bits per second
but the service is not widely available; setting up the infrastructure for a land-based
broadband network with universal access requires enormous investments in time, money
and resources.
SATS Project proposed in July 1999. (But not limited to SATS aircraft.)
In December 2004, the JPDO published the NGATS Plan, validating
this premise, and institutionalizing a plan for network enabled
operations for the NASA (i.e. NGATS)

CONCLUSION
• The commercial aviation’s hub and spoke system today are
badly overloaded.
• Thus, there is a need to bring into use the small and mid size
airports, which is only possible via the airborne internet
concept.
• If and when those planes and blimps start circling to
supplement our current modes of connection, downloading
the massive files we've come to crave for entertainment or
depend on for business purposes will be a snap -- even if we
live somewhere in that "last mile.“
• Airborne Internet will start out with a few obvious applications,
but as bandwidth capability increases, so will the number of
applications…… or will it be that the number of applications
will increase and in turn will create a demand for greater
bandwidth? Only time will tell…
