French train operator SNCF is to roll out onboard wi-fi for its first and second class passengers across its entire TGV Est fleet. This follows a successful trial of the tech that took place between December 2007 and May 2008.

In this video, shot earlier this year, silicon.com reporter Natasha Lomas road-tests SNCF's trial wi-fi service on a TGV train travelling from Paris to Basel.

    Hi,
    This is of course interesting but why not give the information that at Swedish State railoroads (SJ) it has existed since 2004.

    Kind regards
    Anders Ljung

    And this is news when here in the UK, FREE wifi has been available up and down the East Coast Mainline for quite some time now.
