A vehicle information system for passenger vehicles, such as automobiles and aircraft, and methods for manufacturing and using same. The vehicle information system includes a broadband communication system with a broadband antenna system and a broadband control system. Exploiting the advent of high-speed connectivity solutions, the vehicle information system supports a low-cost, high-capacity bidirectional data connection with a terrestrial content system and thereby can be established as another node on the “Worldwide Net.” The vehicle information system likewise provides wireless access points for communicating with passengers' personal media devices. As desired, the vehicle information system can support mobile telephone connectivity and/or presentation of live integrated digital television (IDTV) programming. The vehicle information system thereby provides enhanced information, entertainment, and communication services during travel.

1. A vehicle information system suitable for installation aboard a passenger vehicle and for supporting broadband communications with a terrestrial content source via a preselected satellite communication system during travel, comprising: a first broadband control system for supporting bidirectional broadband data communication with the terrestrial content source via a first broadband data satellite link; anda content distribution system disposed aboard the passenger vehicle for distributing selected viewing content received by said first broadband control system from the terrestrial content source throughout the vehicle information system, said content distribution system including a switching system being segmented into a private switching system for communicating with said first broadband control system and a public switching system for communicating with a wireless access point,wherein said switching system prevents unauthorized wireless access to said private switching system by unauthorized persons inside or outside of the passenger vehicle. 2. The vehicle information system of claim 1, further comprising a telephone system for supporting cellular telephone connectivity by exchanging telephone communication signals over said content distribution system via said switching system. 3. The vehicle information system of claim 2, wherein said telephone system further includes a PicoCell telephone system. 4. The vehicle information system of claim 1, further comprising a second broadband control system for communicating with a second broadband data satellite link and for supporting bidirectional telephone connectivity within the passenger vehicle via the vehicle information system. 5. The vehicle information system of claim 1, further comprising a data loading system being in communication with said content distribution system for supporting bidirectional configuration communication within the passenger vehicle via the vehicle information system. 6. The vehicle information system of claim 5, wherein said bidirectional configuration communication includes transferring at least one of media content, cabin configuration data, system built-in test equipment commands, and software downloads. 7. The vehicle information system of claim 1, wherein at least one of said first broadband data satellite link, said first broadband control system, said switching system and said wireless access point is provided as a line replaceable-unit. 8. The vehicle information system of claim 1, wherein said wireless access point enables a personal media device disposed aboard the passenger vehicle to securely communicate with the terrestrial content source. 9. The vehicle information system of claim 1, further comprising a local content source and a headend system for providing overall system control functions for the vehicle information system, wherein said local content source is at least partially integrated with said headend system, wherein a personal media device disposed aboard the passenger vehicle is enabled to select and present viewing content available from said local content source. 10. The vehicle information system of claim 1, wherein said content distribution system is selected from a group consisting of a wired distribution system and a wireless distribution system. 11. The vehicle information system of claim 1, further comprising a satellite link control system for directing said first broadband data satellite link toward the preselected satellite communication system. 12. The vehicle information system of claim 11, wherein said satellite link control system directs said first broadband data satellite link based upon a comparison of a position of the passenger vehicle with a position of the preselected satellite communication system. 13. The vehicle information system of claim 12, wherein said satellite link control system receives the position of the passenger vehicle from a vehicle position system selected from a group consisting of a Global Positioning Satellite system and an Inertial Reference System. 14. The vehicle information system of claim 1, further comprising an operator device disposed aboard the passenger vehicle for communicating with said first broadband control system. 15. The vehicle information system of claim 1, wherein the vehicle information system is suitable for installation aboard the passenger vehicle selected from a group consisting of an automobile, an aircraft, a bus, a recreational vehicle, a boat and a locomotive. 16. A method for supporting broadband communications between a vehicle information system disposed aboard a passenger vehicle and a terrestrial content source via a preselected satellite communication system, comprising: establishing, by the vehicle information system, a bidirectional broadband data communication connection with the terrestrial content source via a first broadband data satellite link; anddistributing, by the vehicle information system, selected viewing content received from the terrestrial content source throughout the vehicle information system via a switching system being segmented into a private switching system for communicating with said first broadband control system and a public switching system for communicating with a wireless access point,wherein the switching system prevents unauthorized wireless access to the private switching system by unauthorized persons inside or outside of the passenger vehicle. 17. The method of claim 16, wherein said distributing includes enabling the wireless access point to support secure communications between a personal media device disposed aboard the passenger vehicle and the terrestrial content source. 18. The method of claim 16, further comprising providing bidirectional telephone connectivity within the passenger vehicle by exchanging telephone communication signals over the switching system via a telephone system disposed within the vehicle information system. 19. The method of claim 16, further comprising establishing, by the vehicle information system, a second bidirectional broadband data communication connection for supporting telephone connectivity within the passenger vehicle via the vehicle information system. 20. A computer program product for supporting broadband communications between a vehicle information system disposed aboard a passenger vehicle and a terrestrial content source via a preselected satellite communication system, the computer program product being encoded on one or more non-transitory machine-readable storage media and comprising: instruction for establishing, by the vehicle information system, a bidirectional broadband data communication connection with the terrestrial content source via a first broadband data satellite link; andinstruction for distributing, by the vehicle information system, selected viewing content received from the terrestrial content source throughout the vehicle information system via a switching system being segmented into a private switching system for communicating with said first broadband control system and a public switching system for communicating with a wireless access point,wherein the switching system prevents unauthorized wireless access to the private switching system by unauthorized persons inside or outside of the passenger vehicle.
