Next Generation Definition:
 IFE suppliers are already developing 2nd Gen. systems.
 Dynamic nature of IFE Industry - Systems get updated every 3 to 4
years.
 Target the next generation for 3 to 4 years from now so that
everyone can migrate towards the standard without adverse impacts
to their current products.
 This Standard will be of great benefit for airlines, airframers and
suppliers.
 This will be the third generation, with an effectivity of 2004+
 Standards life span – need to define by types
