From their webpage:
Service Advisory
On Aug. 17, 2006, the Boeing Company announced that a detailed business and market analysis of Connexion by Boeing is complete, and the company has decided to exit the high-speed broadband communications connectivity markets. Boeing will work with its customers to facilitate an orderly phase out of the Connexion by Boeing service. Passengers traveling on Internet-equipped flights will be able to use the service until it is phased out between now and the end of the year, depending on the airline.

Strike me as curious, but this seems as if Connexion by Boeing is handing
off a /24 from ASN to ASN as a certain plane moves over certain geographic
areas.  Or is there some other explanation?
