High Speed Trains Europe-Thalys trains launch Wi-Fi

Thalys, the high-speed railway network connecting Brussels, Paris, Amsterdam and Cologne, on Wednesday launched wireless broadband Internet on board its trains. Initially, some 25 percent of Thalys trains will offer wireless access, with all 26 train sets equipped with Wi-fi by October, the company said. Thalys is the first operator offering Wi-fi access on cross-border high-speed trains. "With Wi-Fi we aim to better compete with airlines offering flights between Paris, Amsterdam and Cologne," said Jean-Michel Dancoisne, CEO of Thalys.
