While details are very vague, it will be constrained to the contiguous 48 states of the US, and perhaps not all of that. They cannot use their system over the oceans, because Aircell requires an extensive array of land based towers to reach each plane... By the way these towers do not yet exist, so I wouldn't get my hopes up for anything real soon. There are also questions regarding operation within 500 miles of the Canadian and Mexican borders.<br><br>Row 44 aims to beat Aircell into service. Our plans will be made public very shortly. We make use of the world's largest satellite ISP delivery service, to deliver true broadband to aircraft anywhere.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[john guidon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 4th 2007 3:02PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on American, Lufthansa Adding In-Flight Wi-Fi]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/08/04/american-and-lufthansa-adding-in-flight-wi-fi/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/08/04/american-and-lufthansa-adding-in-flight-wi-fi/</guid><description><![CDATA[Any one and I mean any one that has to use a cell phone or an e-mail unit while driving or in the bathroom is not able to do the job they were hired for!

Unfortunately it's a distant memory at this point. As a 40 year veteran of the airline industry I can tell you that the airlines would love to provide those things. The problem is that passengers dont want to pay for them. After deregulation passengers voted decisevly with their pocket books. They overwhelmingly took the cheapest seat available and the end result is the airlines provide exactly what the passengers pay for.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[mike larson]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 12th 2007 10:54AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on American, Lufthansa Adding In-Flight Wi-Fi]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/08/04/american-and-lufthansa-adding-in-flight-wi-fi/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/08/04/american-and-lufthansa-adding-in-flight-wi-fi/</guid><description><![CDATA[Wow. You guys are all such downers. I'm excited. I'm absolutely sane, and I fully enjoy using the internet. It provides hours of entertainment, and since modern passengers tend to be growing in use of laptops (ie, all businessmen and anyone under the age of 30) there's no reason NOT to have internet access.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[MJZimmer88]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 12th 2007 12:54PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on American, Lufthansa Adding In-Flight Wi-Fi]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/08/04/american-and-lufthansa-adding-in-flight-wi-fi/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/08/04/american-and-lufthansa-adding-in-flight-wi-fi/</guid><description><![CDATA[Can I book a flight with no internet or phone connection for privacy and confort during my fligth, or the plane will have a section on the plane with out anoyance.<br>Also can I pay extra to asure my suitcase will make it to my destination?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Felix]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 15th 2007 7:36PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on American, Lufthansa Adding In-Flight Wi-Fi]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/08/04/american-and-lufthansa-adding-in-flight-wi-fi/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/08/04/american-and-lufthansa-adding-in-flight-wi-fi/</guid><description><![CDATA[The many people that I have worked with over the years in pharmaceutical industry that are required to  travel extensivly are truely addected to ipods, cell phones,lap tops and other technology that they really can't get away from for a couple of hours while flying. It's not their fault entirely, they work for people who reward them for their insanity. When I go to an airport and see many of these people hacking away at sone site report I feel sorry for them. Boy howdy if this crowd gets to hack and talk in the air whil bumping along at 30,000 feet we, the ones who have to listen to their nonsense will have to take alternatine transportation, like train's and buses. That is until these people jump omn the band wagon.Technology is like an insidious cancer.Be afraid, be very afraid. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Edwart Thain]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 29th 2007 12:48PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
