“The Captain Has Turned Off the No Web-Surfing Sign”
June 12th, 2007 // By mgorman
The in-flight broadband market is—caution: unavoidable pun ahead—taking off. AirCell, Voyant and Adapt4 are just a few companies that have entered the race to provide Internet during commercial flights. AirCell claims it will launch its service with Southwest Airlines in 2008, while Voyant and Adapt4 joined forces on June 11 to say they will enter the market, which also could include military aviation and Homeland Security applications, according to a press release.
In-flight broadband would use unused radio frequency that the Federal Communications Commission has granted for such use. Apparently, the frequency would not disrupt airline communications.
This sure would make those cross-continental flights more bearable. But aren’t airlines worried about live-blogging critics? “This chicken cordon blue is the pits, but at least my Internet is working.”
