Boeing Co. says its airborne Internet and entertainment venture, Connexion, will be available for installation in commercial airline seats beginning early next year.

Already serving the private jet market, Connexion uses existing satellites and a proprietary Boeing antenna system to give users broadband Internet access as well as live connections to television and audio networks. Passengers will pay an as-yet undetermined fee for Internet and intranet access and premium television channels, but some information and shopping services will be free to any passenger with a laptop computer.
