I saw this on my flight yesterday from Doha to Montréal. I didn't try plugging-in to see if it was actually live. Anyone else seen/heard-about this before?

I've flown recently on aircraft with an ashtray in the armrest but I've never seen an Ethernet port.

It wasn't a DC-3 actually. (I have flown on one of them but I don't recall where the ashtrays were.) It was a scheduled Air France flight from Paris to Bucharest last year, so probably an Airbus of some kind.
