Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/3tvpvv/global_inflight) has announced the addition of the "2013 Report on the Worldwide Inflight Entertainment Market - Forecasts to 2016" report to their offering.

The worldwide In-flight Entertainment market has also been witnessing an increased number of new technologies and solutions. However, complying as per regulatory body norms could pose a challenge to the growth of this market.

There are plans to launch new generation high throughput satellite systems such as KA-SAT (Eutelsat) and ViaSAT at a regional level and Inmarsat Global Xpress and Intelsat Epic at a global level, to improve satellite communication. These new technologies will provide enhanced capabilities for satellite communication as against traditional satellites. Airlines are increasingly using the technologies of Ku- and Ka-band, which come under the K-band of the microwave band, for air-to-ground communication, besides the mature L-band.

Various regulatory bodies such as Federal Aviation Administration and European Aviation Safety Agency have laid down norms regarding the type of IFE services that can be provided on an aircraft. Hence, companies providing IFE services can only experiment with their IFE content and products within the given regulatory framework.
