WiFi coming to the skies.
American and Delta airlines will be launching wi-fi on select flights and planes in their respective fleets, with Delta anticipating a full launch by mid-2009. I say it’s about time! The flights I take are never more than three hours, but I think having internet access would save me from my inevitable restlessness. I’m not claustrophobic, but I can’t help but to feel confined when on an airplane, regardless that I always purchase a window seat.
This begs the question: wouldn’t internet access in-flight debunk the crazy rule of having to turn off your mobile phone and keeping it off for the duration of the flight? I actually forgot to turn off my phone on my flight back from Orlando on Labor Day. It vibrated in my back pocket as soon as we were above the tarmac coming in for landing. Clearly, leaving it on didn’t send me and the other 80 passengers plummeting to our deaths…

awesome. Not that i’m up in the skies that much, but it would be nice to have internet access to pass the time rather than watching crappy movies
