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.
It’s about time, I’d say.
I’ll be waiting for your first airborn post. Make sure to take a picture.
Amen to that brother! And even better… Im a T-Mobile customer.
lol i thought they already had wifi on planes X)
Um… whatever happened to “RF interference”?
@Alan
Everything is now shielded in a plane.. no worries of RF interference anymore.
@Andrew
Then why do they tell you to turn off your cell phones and everything else using batt. power?? jw
But this is pretty kool…this means i can listen to xm while on the plane…woot woot
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.
