American Airlines To Offer Wi-Fi In Planes

Posted by timothy on Tuesday March 31, 2009 @01:34AM from the new-kernel-perfect-for-sharing dept.

Firmafest writes "In USA Today there's a scoop that American Airlines will offer Wi-Fi on domestic flights. Price is approx. $10 to get connected. Being a frequent international flyer I hope this will catch on. The LA Times reports that the cost is about $100,000 to equip a plane. While that number seems high, it will probably be worth it. If I had a choice between two flights both equally good, I'd pick the Wi-Fi enabled one." The article also says that JetBlue and Southwest Airlines are at least experimenting with Wi-Fi access aboard, while Delta already offers it.

Why is it every time someone points out that maybe, just maybe, socialism actually has *shudder* disadvantages, they get modded --1 troll?
Oh I forgot... I'm new here.
