WiFi on trains   
Hi,

Which countries/companies are running onboard WiFi in Europe now, and which 
system do they use?  I know about GNER and SJ using the Icomera system and a 
T-Mobile WiMAX trial on Southern in the UK, but those are the only two I 
know of with working services.

What others are in service / planned and do they use satellite or a 
terrestrial connection?


Thanks a lot,

Dave

There is a test under way on the Thalys, but I have no technical details, sorry.
