Internet through the sky
Hi,
it’s incredible how Internet is in
everywhere. After Wi-Fi, WiMax and 3G make possible the internet
access in shoppings and airports, it’s time to read your favority blog
inside the airplane.
According to American Airlines, their
passengers will be able to test in-flight Internet access. At the
beginning, just two flights will provide this service: New York – Los
Angeles and San Francisco – Miami, both in Boing 7676-200. However, the
company have plans to enlarge the service in two weeks.
Passengers will be able to use e-mail,
instant messaging, to download video and connect to secure networks on
notebook computers or other wireless devices such as smart phones
through three wireless access points on the plane. Unfortunately, this
service will not be free of taxs. Facing record high fuel
prices, American plans to charge $9.95 to $12.95 for Internet service,
depending on flight length.
Well, it seems a good entertainment alternative for that long/boring flights and to help in some late job.
