Starlink for Aviation

I think technology itself is enabler here. Airlines have to figure how to price the convenience of video calls vs privacy/solitude/disturbances to the co-passengers. i think having dedicated video call booths priced per 5 min chunks can address the issue.

And somewhat immediately, my brain assumes that people will use the booths to join the mile-high club. Virtually, of course.

Given high value placed on every square inch of the passenger cabin if that booth isn't being used as much as they'd earn from the extra seat they could sell instead, it's never happening.
