Airlines will carry 35 Million WiFi-enabled monthly passengers by 2012 and can drive significant ancillary revenue through their new WiFi platforms by partnering with digital media firms.
Current airline WiFi fee-based revenue models will likely limit a tremendous potential content delivery, advertising, digital media, and location-based service opportunity.
Airlines need to take control of the content platform offered through IFE screens and travelers’ mobile devices and partner with digital entertainment companies to deliver digital movies, eBooks, and more not just in-flight, but around the flight.

2012 Year End Financial and Operational Results Forecast Prep February 21, 20...Airlines for America (A4A)
U.S. airlines delivered one of their best years ever for operational performance, built on their stellar safety record, and achieved a narrow profit despite weathering some of the highest jet fuel prices and steepest tax burdens in history. Much more needs to be done to ensure the U.S. airlines remain profitable, continue to create American jobs, restore and grow air service and remain global competitors. This is where a National Airline Policy comes in. We look forward to working with Congress and the administration on this important initiative.

Part I Jan 2010 - Can airlines power ancillary revenue with digital media and better WiFi platforms?
1. Alford Strategic
Part I - January 2010
Development
What can digital entertainment, WiFi,
and mobile mean for airlines?
Alford Strategic Development LinkedIn | (206) 734-7450 | www.maketravelbetter.com 1
2. Introduction
Convergence of mobile technology and airline WiFi installations with digital entertainment’s fast growth could mean
significant ancillary revenue opportunity for airlines and WiFi providers…
• Airline WiFi will serve 400 - 500 million annual US airline passengers by 2012
• 300% - 400% larger than COMBINED projected iPad, Kindle, Xbox, Wii, PS3, and Netflix user bases
• US airlines could drive $3-5 Billion via revshare and customer acquisition partnerships with digital media firms
• …but charging travelers for WiFi cuts the head off the market
• “The 60-hour Cycle” - use knowledge of the itinerary to deliver impulse-buy content, entertainment, and
location-based services via mobile device, laptop, or IFE screen – from door-to-door roundtrip
• “Think Outside the Flight” - Mobile enables ~25 touchpoints – each way
Alford Strategic Development LinkedIn | (206) 734-7450 | www.maketravelbetter.com 2
3. Airline WiFi and digital entertainment growth
Airline WiFi installations are growing quickly…
• 400M – 500M WiFi-enabled passengers by 2012 is on
scale of top websites’ traffic
US digital content sales - $US bn

4. Alignment of forces
Even 6 months ago, this market did not exist…
…now forces are aligning to enable airlines to capitalize on fierce competition in digital entertainment
Netflix, Amazon, Apple, Google battle
Airlines need new revenue channels
each other, publishers and studios
• 2009 = $11 B loss; 2010 ~ $3 B loss • Fierce competition for “living room”
share and market power
• Baggage and other fees make money, ~ 500 million passengers
but passengers don’t like them drive $1B to $5B digital • Customer acquisition is critical focus
entertainment revenue
Digital media partners can
Huge WiFi investment, but fee- win captive market Mobile technology and adoption
based model shrinks the market competitors cannot access create large opportunity next 3 yrs
• $100,000+ install cost per plane • Mobile growth and device convergence
• Travelers don’t want to pay WiFi fees • Location-based marketing extends
merchandising around flight
Alford Strategic Development LinkedIn | (206) 734-7450 | www.maketravelbetter.com 4
5. Who will own the content platform?
Aircell and Row44 are strong WiFi technology partners…
…but airlines need world-class digital media and web / mobile merchandising partners to own the content, merchandising
and marketing platforms…
Content, merchandising,
and marketing platform
Airline-built?
Studios Aircell?
In-flight WiFi
and Row 44?
service
publishers Netflix?
Amazon?
YouTube?
Apple?
Alford Strategic Development LinkedIn | (206) 734-7450 | www.maketravelbetter.com 5
6. “Think outside the flight” to drive revenue and engagement
The 60-hour Cycle
Think outside the flight…travelers are high impulse-buy targets for roughly 30 hours each way
• Mobile enables 25 round-trip touchpoints:
• Market actively to drive revenue, don’t wait until passengers are in their seats
• Defray in-flight data costs by driving travelers to download content before boarding
Text-offer movie Scan 2D code for Deliver eBook Flight delay? Offer Enjoy The Economist
for the flight exclusive offers coupon before free movie at $1 free on-board. Offer trial
customer buys at cost vs. $200 subscription on landing
Hudson News flight voucher
Alford Strategic Development LinkedIn | (206) 734-7450 | www.maketravelbetter.com 6
7. Standard revshare vs alternative opportunity
Capitalizing on these forces could generate $1 - $3+ Billion by 2012
Airline ecosystem digital media sales - $US bn
download / rental only download + referral / subscription
Revshare models based on in-flight movie rentals, eBook sales, and $5.4B
more could generate $1 Billion by 2012
$4.4B
$3.2B
But as just one alternative idea… $1.9B
$1.5B $1.6B
$1.3B
$0.8B $0.9B
…offering movie subscription trials to convert travelers to recurring $0.4B
“living room” customers could generate over $3 Billion by 2012
2010 2011 2012 2013 2014
Alford Strategic Development LinkedIn | (206) 734-7450 | www.maketravelbetter.com 7
8. Conventional revenue share approach
A conventional revenue share or affiliate model for movie, eBook and music download rentals can be profitable…
…but studio licensing and publisher royalties will take most of the income from airlines
Digital Entertainment Content “GoGo Video-to-Go”
Ecosystem service
Traveler rents $5 movie
on one flight
Airline income $1
or Partner income $1
Studio income $3
Alford Strategic Development LinkedIn | (206) 734-7450 | www.maketravelbetter.com 8
9. Customer acquisition / Referral approach
A customer acquisition model could deliver much more revenue to airlines, partners, and studios than a one-time in-flight
rental…don’t just settle for a conventional in-flight rental revenue share model
• As just one example, offer a free movie if traveler takes a free trial subscription for Netflix, registers for Amazon, etc
• Anecdotally, ~70-80% of travelers asked prefer the free movie / free trial option over paying for a rental
Digital Entertainment Content
cloud-based distribution
or
Traveler gets free movie by
choosing free trial
Airline income $12 - $16 referral
Partner income $120 annual subscription
Studio income $18 annual licensing fees
…note for digital partners - lock competitors out…airline contracts with WiFi providers are 10-year terms
Alford Strategic Development LinkedIn | (206) 734-7450 | www.maketravelbetter.com 9
10. Customer acquisition / Referral approach
The fierce digital media battle for “living room share” is driven by customer acquisition…
Netflix aggressively cornered game Amazon wants to be Apple using iPhone and iPad to drive digital
console and television streaming market relevant beyond eBooks video and eBooks after dominating music
…and airlines can offer a tremendous customer base and potential customer acquisition channel…

11. Why now?
WiFi providers need to replace a deteriorating revenue model just as installation capital costs take off…
• As with broader trends, passengers don’t want to pay for WiFi, and charging for it shrinks the potential media market
• WiFi providers are developing partnerships, but opportunity exists to create a better consumer experience

12. Disrupt the traditional IFE content value chain
A new approach leveraging cloud-based digital services could disrupt the labor-intensive in-flight entertainment value chain
• Could save the airline industry ~ $150 Million
• Rule-of-thumb costs of $75 - $80 per flight for licensing and film services
• IFE serves ~ 20% of flights and is used to drive premium fares, but not direct revenue
Traditional value chain

13. Summary – General factors to consider
From an airline perspective From a digital media partner perspective
• WiFi fees are less sustainable and drop usage significantly, missing • Airlines likely will want a one-stop solution
out on potential digital entertainment revenue
• Amazon can package all digital categories and its incredible
• Digital merchandising is high-margin and has the Earnings value of retail capability in an on-board and mobile solution
a much greater volume of air fares

results are unclear

$12B
$3.8 Billion and rising to about $7 Billion by 2013. Physical format
sales have dropped from $13 Billion in 1999. $10B

and slow to adjust licensing requirements to truly enable new
$0B
distribution paradigms
2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014
• Labels demanded significant upfront payments – and equity
stakes - from promising streaming music start-ups, many of
which failed partly as a result
• On the other hand, Pandora now claims a base of 40 million
registered users and Spotify is growing rapidly
• How profitable they are is a big question
Competitive characteristics
As well as Apple’s dominance, this is becoming a dynamic
market of paid downloads vs ad-sponsored streaming and
consumer-facing business vs record-label inflexibility.
By leveraging airline passenger populations, opportunity exists
to build power with labels to drive profitability.
