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.

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 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.
