It’s also immoral to force bad pricing down customer throats. And yet that is the definition of the inflight wifi business.
EDIT: I’m fairly sure at current prices a single flight could pay for a month’s service for a single plane, probably several times over. The profit margins (& I imagine some the cut to the airline) must be enormous, & there is no pretense of fair terms at sale time because a single corporation can entirely monopolize your attention.

- asdfasgasdgasdg 7y agoThe profit margin for luxury addons is always insane. That doesn't make them unethical. In fact, there's a very good argument to be made that luxury pricing is positively ethical, as it allows the base experience to be offered for a lower price to more price-sensitive customers.

How come that isn't happening here? Anyway, it's a commodity. The positioning of it as a luxury service amounts to theft.
