Abstract
A communications system for an aircraft carrying personal electronic devices (PEDs) for wireless data communications includes a satellite video receiver, wireless local area network (WLAN) circuitry configured to provide a WLAN within the aircraft, and a processor and memory coupled thereto. The processor is configured to store video content from the satellite video receiver in the memory based upon a popularity rating of the video content, and supply stored video content to the PEDs via the WLAN.
