"Totally Wired at 32,000 Feet: Airlines Set to Install E-Mail, Web Links for Use In Flight", WSJ October 24, 2002.

By offering "JetConnect" services at the low price of $6.00 for a flight, Continental seems to have shifted to an approach that aims to induce high- and low-demanders to purchases these services (Approach 2 in my terminology) rather than price very high to only attract high-demanders (Approach 1, such as charging $4.00 per minute on Airfone).  Could airlines do better by offering a menu of choices (Approach 3)?  What offerings and price points might you suggest?
