WiFi on a plane
December 13th, 2007 by mariusI was talking about this with friends months ago, and finally someone did it. Who? Yahoo!
JetBlue is the first domestic carrier to test high altitude connectivity. You can bring your WiFi enabled gadgets, your BlackBerry’s and start browsing the web. IM on Yahoo! post twits on Twitter or whatever you want. It’s an Airbus A320 and it’s called BetaBlue as presented on JetBlue’s website, and the services are free to customers and provided exclusively by JetBlue and LiveTV™, Yahoo!®, and BlackBerry®.

Yahoo! went another step and even added special Status messages like “Head in the clouds – seriously”, “Sleeping on the Plane” and “Ugh! Crying baby on flight”
I have been predicting this a while ago, and now that it’s here, I just want to say “kudos” to everyone involved, and nice winds for the pilots.
Otherwise the cabin will be filled with flying gadgets ;-)

This is why Wireless is FUN, and this is why I’m sorry I stopped writing here lately. I just hope I will have enough time to start writing again and bring you nice and fresh Wireless news, gossips and maybe not only wireless…
Just remember: Wireless IS FUN!
