Steps: 1.Identify the equivalent services to aero Phone and Internet 2.Provide the tariffing & usage profiles for aero services 3.Map these profiles to the classes the passengers fly 4.Provide revenues and data traffic expected per aircraft, according to the typical cabin configuration 5.Extend the results to the fleets used for North-Atlantic flights

At project start, only limited possibilities for wireless data communications were available, and mobile telephony was considered as unlikely and risky. Today, WirelessCabin project has opened up a new business direction for airline operators, manufacturers and telecommunications operators support of standardization groups have paved the way for industrial roll-out of services major aeronautical service providers have mobile telephony on their roadmap
