Only 13 Boeing 757s will receive Aircell's popular Gogo service for coast-to-coast flights by November. The price will range from $13 for laptops to $8 for smartphones and other small Wi-Fi devices.

Coming in the second half of this year, Wi-Fi will cost customers $13 per flight.

The service, provided by Aircell's GoGo (no surprise since they pretty much rule the spectrum), will initially be available on 13 Boeing 757s that fly between New York and California to provide web surfing, email, IMming and corporate VPN access. Hopefully United will roll out the service to those of us not flying coast-to-coast shortly thereafter.

What do you think, is $13 a fair price? I believe it is, though I'd like to see that cost go down on shorter trips (a pricing option that Virgin has already implemented). [United]
