Despite the growing trend toward streaming internet video, most rail and air travelers are locked out. Internet connectivity in these environments is typically so poor that passengers must make do with email and web browsing. To compensate for this shortcoming, many transportation providers provide walled-garden video-on-demand (VOD) systems. But limited, infrequently changing walled-garden VOD libraries pale in comparison to the effectively infinite trove of content already available from streaming internet providers. This places transportation providers—air and rail operators—in a challenging position: limited internet connectivity and stale entertainment choices results in high expense levels but poor customer satisfaction.
