Internet in The Air.

American Airlines have broken new ground with the introduction of WI-FI computer access on selected flights over the US. It will be available above 10,000 feet and will cost $12.95 on flights of more than 3 hours. So instead of the movie we will all be tapping away at the laptop and surfing the Web. Cell phone and Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP) is still not allowed.


“Today, U.S. air travel changes forever. With Aircell’s unique ATG inflight Internet service, airlines finally have an economically viable option for providing the broadband connectivity passengers are demanding,” says Aircell President and CEO Jack Blumenstein.
