Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. , believes that "email should be based on pricing similar to Internet cafes. Our research indicates that the majority of travellers are used to paying between $3.00 - $5.00 to send or receive email using the global webmail network." Data3mail offers a comparable service using ASI's proprietary software format, which greatly reduces file sizes to compensate for the higher satellite transmission costs.

For a few dollars more, they can select the exact emails they wish to upload and by using the Data3mail Spam filter, make sure they only pay for the emails they want. Pricing to send emails will start from $3.50.

Data3mail's proprietary software leverages off the aircraft's existing communications system and the aviation certified Inmarsat and SITA Global networks. The end result is lower costs and cheaper prices making it affordable for everyone. To date, most other systems have been developed using the Internet protocol TCP/IP TCP/IP

Data3mail is undergoing flight test programs with 2 major international airlines and is expected to gain considerable attention at the IPEC conference being held in London between 7 to 9 April 2003.
