Verizon will be discontinuing their Airphone service by the end of the year, according to the article Verizon to End Airline Telephone Service. Verizon has opted to end the phone service on commercial airliners to focus instead on their faster growing broadband, cellular phone and FiOS TV service. Industry analysts have said that the phone service was rarely used. In addition, Verizon executives said they would have had to invest a great deal of money to have brought more compelling technology to the phone service.
