In-Flight VOIP Coming Soon
hdtv writes "U.S. airline customers are likely to be thrilled with an opportunity to sit next to someone constantly chatting on the phone. Information Week magazine is reporting that government auction is opening a way for telecoms to introduce voice-over-IP links on in-flight communication systems." From the article: "Airfone already offers phone service on many flights, but its high cost has limited its use. JetBlue has declined to say what its LiveTV LCC unit would do with a winning frequency. Although many frequent flyers and airline attendants favor a ban on the phone chatter, Connexion by Boeing, whose Internet service is already offered on nearly 200 international flights a day, notes that there have been no complaints of in-cabin incidents about the technology. The Connexion service is regularly used by passengers to make VoIP calls. "
Why would you get that just for being too stupid to buy a $.30 pair of earplugs when you know that your going to be confined in a small room with a bunch of people from the genreal public who will be talking more than you want to hear.
Or for being so arrogant that you feel that everybody else should change their behavior to make you happy, when a $.30 pair of earplugs would let you have what you want while everybody else can have what they want.
Yeah, the asshats that want eigther to stupid to bring a $.30 pair of earplugs, or so arrogant that they think they should be able to control everybody elses behavior, so that they don't have to put in a $.30 pair of earplugs. After all, why should they have to modify THEIR behavior to get what they want, when they can demand that everybody else modify theirs to cator to them.
