188bet Live Casino is welcoming more participants.

“Now many domestic small and medium-sized 188bet Live Casino have begun to make arrangements，In the next two to three years，It is expected that more than 500 narrow-body aircraft can provide air-ground interconnection services。” Wang Miao, Director General of the Air-Ground Internet Industry Alliance, disclosed the above news at the CAPSE Fourth Civil Aviation Service Summit held on April 12。

As the Civil Aviation Administration of China relaxes restrictions on the use of mobile phones on airplanes，More and more 188bet Live Casino and communications companies are accelerating the deployment of in-flight WiFi，In-flight Internet access is expected to quickly become a commonplace service。It’s worth noting，In this wave of in-flight WiFi construction，The three major 188bet Live Casino may not be completely dominant，Small and medium-sized 188bet Live Casino will also become important participants。

Once popular among major 188bet Live Casino，The current era of free WiFi may be over。From Europe and America、Based on the experience of 188bet Live Casino in Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places，Paid service for in-flight WiFi is the general trend；Meanwhile，Passengers can also expect more differentiation、Personalized service。

Small and medium-sized 188bet Live Casino are competing for layout

January this year，The Civil Aviation Administration of China has fully liberalized the use of mobile phones in the cabin，As soon as the news comes out，Major 188bet Live Casino quickly announced that mobile phones can be used on their flights，And small and medium-sized 188bet Live Casino are also "not to be outdone" in launching in-flight network projects。

“Our company is already negotiating with four or five companies to prepare for implementation。"Wang Miao told the 21st Century Business Herald reporter。However，For participating 188bet Live Casino，He said it was inappropriate to disclose business secrets。

But he also mentioned it，Already with China United 188bet Live Casino、Shenzhen 188bet Live Casino、Shandong 188bet Live Casino and other companies do a lot of exchanges，Small and medium-sized 188bet Live Casino are likely to have better performance on in-flight Internet in 2018。

The Kongdi 188bet Live Casino Industry Alliance where Wang Miao works was established in 2014，By Air China、ZTE and other member units jointly launched，Committed to bringing Chinese flights into the 188bet Live Casino era through cross-border innovation。

For small and medium-sized 188bet Live Casino，Joining the alliance is expected to gain greater bargaining chips，To solve the cost problem of modification and operation。“Because there are few planes，For example, the price per megabyte of traffic may be around 2 yuan，But if multiple 188bet Live Casino together，The operator may be willing to lower the price to less than 1 yuan。”Introduced by Wang Miao。

In fact，Chinese 188bet Live Casino are not too late to start on aircraft interconnection，As early as 2012, we were discussing in-flight connectivity solutions with international 188bet Live Casino。But，Due to domestic restrictions on the use of mobile phones and other portable electronic devices in the cabin，Public 188bet Live Casino are not very enthusiastic。

Calculated based on online air travel website Routehappy，Currently, in-flight WiFi covers more than one-third of global flights，Among them, US 188bet Live Casino have achieved full WiFi coverage on 71% of their flights，This proportion is 13% among non-US 188bet Live Casino。Other data is shown，Nearly 90% of aircraft in the United States have achieved air-ground interconnection。

In comparison，China’s aircraft Wi-Fi market is still in its infancy。According to statistics from the Civil Aviation Big Data Research Institute，A total of 9 domestic 188bet Live Casino have in-flight WiFi services (including LAN)，Except Lucky Air，The Wi-Fi coverage of the other 8 flights is below 5%。188bet Live Casino that truly use air-ground interconnection technology，Only three major 188bet Live Casino、Hainan 188bet Live Casino、Xiamen 188bet Live Casino and a few other 188bet Live Casino。

No doubt，Restricting the use of mobile phones on airplanes increases the enthusiasm of 188bet Live Casino。21st Century Business Herald reporter also learned from several small and medium-sized 188bet Live Casino，They all have plans to deploy aerial Internet。Wang Miao thinks，In terms of in-flight Internet layout，The civil aviation industry may change the situation of "only the three major 188bet Live Casino follow the lead"。

"Original，The service processes and standards of small and medium-sized 188bet Live Casino refer to the three major 188bet Live Casino to a large extent，But in the in-flight internet layout，Many advanced 188bet Live Casino in Europe and the United States have provided relatively complete in-flight network services，In fact, there is no need for the three major 188bet Live Casino to formulate standards in this regard。"Wang Miao thinks。

It is worth mentioning，188bet Live Casino has also received high-level attention。April 3, 2018，Premier Li Keqiang listened to the work report on broadband network speed increase and fee reduction at the State Council executive meeting，Specially proposed to promote in-flight Internet access services，Expand the scope of free Internet access in public places。

The free era may be the end

If 188bet Live Casino is widely available in the country，Charging will become a high probability event。

Currently，Domestic 188bet Live Casino’ in-flight WiFi is mainly free，Generally speaking，Economy class passengers need to apply in advance，And first class、Business class passengers can experience it without applying。

Take China Southern 188bet Live Casino as an example，China Southern 188bet Live Casino provides in-flight Internet services on 24 domestic and international flights，Economy class passengers who purchase relevant tickets can purchase tickets through China Southern 188bet Live Casino official website or APP，Request a free trial 24 hours before flight departure，After successful application，Passengers will receive reminder text messages or emails。

In the more mature aviation market，Many 188bet Live Casino have already launched paid services for in-flight WiFi。Hong Kong Aviation Service Director Kan Ho-yin said in an exclusive interview with a reporter from the 21st Century Business Herald，Currently, Hong Kong 188bet Live Casino’ in-flight WiFi is free for the first 15 minutes，After exceeding the limit, passengers can order packages for different time periods。

The reporter also learned，Japan 188bet Live Casino charges 500 yen for in-flight WiFi within 450 kilometers，equivalent to approximately RMB 30；American 188bet Live Casino from Beijing to Dallas、In-flight WiFi on flights from Shanghai to Dallas，2 hours charge 13.、4 hours charge 18.USD 7，The whole flight is 20.。

Charges are based on write-offs of high costs。In the process of investing in 188bet Live Casino project，Except for the initial equipment costs of aircraft modification，There is also the cost of renting broadband，In addition，Device aggravation、Communication antenna increases flight resistance and also increases fuel consumption。

According to the words of Zhou Hong, deputy general manager of China Unicom Hangmei Network Co., Ltd. quoted by the Beijing News in April 2017，“The supporting 188bet Live Casino hardware products required by an airplane cost US0,000，This does not include software、Install。Our estimated cost is approximately US.5 million，And this does not include post-operation and maintenance。”

In fact，Profit model for in-flight WiFi，The industry is still exploring，Mainly includes two forms: on-board front-end charging and off-machine back-end charging。The in-flight front-end mode is mainly for passengers in the cabin，188bet Live Casino can follow the flight segments、Traffic、Time and other methods，Provide paid WiFi service；Back-end charging is to collect operating fees from cooperative enterprises and merchants。

Wang Miao’s analysis，Relying solely on front-end charging or back-end charging is not a long-term solution，None of them can support the airline’s investment costs。He thinks，The preceding charges will help encourage 188bet Live Casino to do better in-flight internet services，“The market with positive interaction is，Passengers are willing to pay for the service，188bet Live Casino are also willing to provide better services to passengers。”

However, there are also opinions thatIn the domestic market，There will be free mode and paid mode in parallel，The free model has the potential to detonate the industry。

However，From the current situation，I’m afraid it’s too early to talk about large-scale profits，After all, in the non-aviation business，Onboard 188bet Live Casino is only a small part。Jian Haoxian also said，Even if there is a partial charge，And paying users account for about 20%，Charging can still only supplement part of the cost，Not yet formed large-scale profits。

According to his expectation，In the next 2-3 years，In-flight internet will still be in the exploration and cultivation period。From this point of view，Domestic small and medium-sized 188bet Live Casino may need to consider more carefully when deploying in-flight WiFi。
