This would presume that all railway companies want passengers customers. In the UK we have come to accept that providing a service to the public is the least of railway company priorities.

ps , is it available in 2nd class as well as business/first ?

Actually the only train with wifi that I took in Europe was in the UK, and the speeds were even workable. Actually the Thaly's train might have had it as well, but I think it had an expensive hourly rate attached to it.

you are the media you consume.

Not completely ashamed to admit it, but wifi is free in 1st.  At first, only Brussels - Paris, but now from Cologne where the Thalys originates at this end.

Germany is beginning to make inroads into wifi on trains, adding one route at a time based upon some criteria.  i really like it, because it means full work load on trains (as if you couldn't do full work load without wifi if you really wanted.)

Plus, i get more focused working with the rails humming in the background.  i work better on trains than at home, unless i'm excited.

Did i mention i love traveling by train?

Get some sort of season ticket or frequent traveller discount and spend 8 hours a day on ICEs...

Maybe it will be cheaper than an office.
