Internet access is quite common nowadays, and not just for running the company, but more and more for the crew also. We hear often that people do not want to work at a company because "they don't have internet onboard".

You may use internet to manage the internal processes of your company, to overlook your engine-room and to see who is comming onboard; to mention a few examples.

You may also make phone costs against a small fraction of the price that you were used to. Without cell phone and using local priceplans.
