American Airlines To Offer Wi-Fi In Planes
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.
Everyone knows that's an urban legend!
The real reason they don't allow that stuff on a plane is that the electromagnetic waves will bounce around in there and cook all the passengers!
Honest, this unkempt guy on the street, who smelled like a brewery, holding a wine bottle in a paper bag told me! Apparently he knew the real reason and the gub'ment was after him, so he had to hide. How could you not trust someone who would go to such extremes to disguise himself?
