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.
Go wait in line at your local DMV. Also, see Social Security, Medicare, MedicAid, and the home mortgage market. The gov't has done a real bang-up job on those, hasn't it? First will come the inevitable cost overruns because for some reason nobody could predict that promising more and better services = more cost. Then will come price controls because for some reason it's just not fair to pay more money for more services and cutting-edge treatments. Then will come longer waiting periods and denials for once routine procedures in order to slow the rise in costs. Then will come US citizens fleeing to Mexico for affordable and decent medical care. Man, that'll be ironic, won't it? I swear, you lemmings are all so fucking stupid. Sure, socialism works - as long as you have a perfectly honest and benevolent leadership and until the upper-class gets tired of paying the freight for all you lazy motherfuckers.
If it pays for itself within a few months, then good. Profitable airlines == more competition, and less nickel and diming for snacks and hydration.
Secretly funded by the NSA actually. A capture will be built into the system.
Of course, why are you looking up breast cancer on a flight anyway? (Just one example)

We are?!? Sweet, I'm moving away ASAP! On an unrelated note, why were several words of your post underlined and interspersed with [slashdot.org]???
They were URLs, moron. Your UID shows your idiocy.
