I was talking with a friend and he said that it would be fun to see Virgin Atlantic put on their A380s easyInternetcafes.I don't know how safe it is or if it can be done but it will be fun.It will also be fun to see how Stelios Haji-Ioannou and Richard Branson are going to promote this think.

I'd say that there is a much higher likelihood that VS will simply install Connexion's internet service (or have they signed up with Tenzing?)... that way they'll have the internet available all throughout the plane, without having to waste space for an "internet cafe"...

I beleive VS have an agreement in place with Tenzing, and that their V:Port IFE is "internet ready"

There could be in fact an internet lounge to socialize in...what makes every trip (and not only trips) interesting is the chance to meet someone special  Smile/happy/getting dizzy but indeed each seat will have an internet connection.

it actually might be cheaper in the long run to have a "mini-cafe" , provided there can be some kind of wi-fi setup done, this way, there would not be a need for all the other heavy equipment/cables next to each seat...plus, when people socialise together, they spend more money on items such as liquor, etc. and if air carriers charge them, then that would/could be an extra revenue source...but from reading the posts above, it doesn't seem that way on VS...
