->> Boeing's in flight internet system is apparently being reborn on a few American Airlines flights. Last time around it failed miserably, mostly due to the price tab and cost recoup schedules. As much I enjoyed surfing the web on an overseas flight, the $30-$40 connection fee wasn't worth it until the 5th or 6th Jack and Coke.
It appears AA is looking to charge $10-$13 for the service "depending on the length of the flight".
While you can download, I wonder if we'll be able to connect to FTP? |

->> ".....Aircell and American won't filter for purpose, although they emphasized that the service is intended mostly for Web browsing, email transfer, and corporate network access via a virtual private network (VPN) connection. Aircell can prioritize data packets as needed to level out every passengers' experience."

If the border agents are allowed to view and download content, are your pictures safe?
Might be kind of nice to be able to connect to an online archive while in the air... |
