Value network configurations used in the techno-economic model. Service 1: free passenger Wi-Fi; service 2: video-on-demand; service 3: crew communication. In the first scenario (left side), a train operating company offers free passenger Wi-Fi. To cover the cost, a charge is included in the ticket fee. In the second scenario (right side), the free passenger Wi-Fi service is complemented with a video-on-demand service and a crew communication system.
