The comparison Roberts makes with trains in the UK highlights the crucial difference that data costs can make. From this perspective, it seems that improving onboard WiFi will require increased collaboration between rail operators and mobile network providers to iron out commercial issues, rather than just technical ones. In the meantime, Virgin has made steps to allow consumers to access onboard entertainment without relying on mobile networks.
One of the factors that has slowed progress towards enhanced WiFi has been the complexity of retrofitting existing trains with modern systems. However, Roberts is optimistic that with WiFi now a staple on many trains, the problems of retrofitting will become less and less relevant. New trains will be built with WiFi in mind, which could help rail operators to maximise the potential of onboard services.
