In-flight Internet: some cutting edge stuff
 

?I think Boeing is at the cutting edge of what is probably going to be the next breakthrough in in-flight amenities,? said aviation consultant Mike Boyd. ?It may get to a point where for business travelers, they won't go on an airline that doesn't have it.?

this is long overdue. Boeing will make a fortune with this. :2 cents:

I am flying with LH over to frankfurt on Friday, wonder if they have it ? The travel agent is checking right now:winkwink:

I cant wait, it will make flights less boring!

I used Verizon Jet Connect on my Continental Flight back from San Diego... 5.95 for the duration of the flight. Playing Games, ICQs, AIMs, emails, news, etc made the flight fly by. No pun intended.

is you still a mod at GFE ?

sounds neat , but I would want full internet access, especially on overseas flights:thumbsup

Soon the internet will be everwhere just like the phone and it will be all broadband. Can't wait!

I wonder if they will have frequent downloader points or something - I would live on this thing.

I can't wait for that day, I can't live without my pc :)

I wonder how much they're thinking of charging for it :(

That's fucking awesome. When I flew to Europe a few months ago the planes all had electrical outlets, TVs with a bunch of movies, video games, etc. It was the greatest 10+ hour flight I've ever taken. In flight internet on commercial airlines would be awesome.

yes you're correct on that, the travel agent got back to me and said the same thing. Its not available yet on the flight I am taking over.:(
