Jan 24, 2010. Aircell Aircell is preparing to roll out a new service that allows passengers to download movies, television shows and other content for a fee on aircraft equipped with its Gogo in-flight broadband solution. The cached content offering forms a strategic part of Aircell's business plan. "Our strategy is to bring in-flight entertainment (IFE) into the Apple iPod world," Aircell director, product and platform management Eric Lemond recently told ATI. Gogo, which is presently installed on about 700 aircraft in the US fleet, is capable of delivering a wide range of content from its media server directly to end users' devices over its in-cabin Wi-fi network.
