WiFi to Go Mile High

April 3, 2007 by Dan in News with 7 Comments

US based airlines are finally understating that life does not pause when you are in the air, and they are going to be offering Wi-Fi service onboard flights. W00t!

A company called AirCell will install equipment on airliners that will act as a WiFi hotspot in the cabin and connect to laptop computers with a cost of no more then $10 a day trip, with discounts for T-Mobile, iPass and Boingo customers. Speeds are expect to be similar to DSL quality.

I can’t begin to say how exited I am about this. Whatever airline deploys this first is my airline of choice, blogging from 35,000 feet is a dream come true.

I’ll be waiting for your first airborn post. Make sure to take a picture.

I don’t turn off my phone and other battery powered shit up in the air. “Fuck that”. It can’t pickup a signal anyhow so it doesn’t fuck with it.
