Gogo To Bring In-Flight Wi-Fi By Spring; We Can't Wait

How many people are actually going to be willing to pay the 10 dollars???
If the 2MBs is for share then thats not bad because it will be shared with appx. 4 people giving a 400kbps download speed which is not bad at all.
Now the upload speed will suck ass.
Hopefully poor old sprint works out a deal with these guys so we can see some WiMax speeds on the flight.
Imagine 70mbps download split 10 way thats 7mbps for everyone. Thats super fast.

I really wanted it to go from "sent roses" to "fragged noobs." that would've been sweet.

Thanks for showing my movie! I'm really proud of the whole team for getting the site up, and for working with such a cool client on a cool project. Don't forget to download the game widget!

Also makes me feel good that we scooped Gizmodo and Om by a few weeks ;) with our little rickety blog on the prairie.

Thanks again,

Why is everyone so afraid of the guy in the next seat watching porn??? Internet won't change much... I always carry a spare porn DVD in my laptop and I do not have to depend on the net connection YET I never had a desire to watch it while in flight...imagine being courteous to your next seat neighbour and listen to the porn through your headphones and then the flight attendant comes over and asks for tea of coffee...immediately you pull the headphone plug out of the laptop and here comes moaning and groaning...that would be fun...

Um, does this mean I can play World of Warcraft while flying? Cause that game would make an 8-hour flight go by in a breeze. Now if only I could smoke weed while flying.....

If they don't filter VoIP, they had better bring back smoking.

@Yifkong & Guapo: I suspect that the Gogo router/firewall will be preconfigured to block a whole laundry list of services and websites for reasons technical (i.e. bandwidth hogging) and social (i.e. pr0n and Skype).

Now we'll have to wait twice as long for the bathroom, 'cause we'll have random people that all of a sudden have to go rub one out.

@Guapo:
might be too much latency to use skype comfortably. throughput will be good i imagine but theres going to be a 2-5 second lag i bet.

Actually it's going to be worse sitting next to him when he FINISHES watching it...

Great, until the guy in the seat next to you starts watching porn.

Has anyone tried using a laptop on a flight recently? It's like shoving a sharp stick in your eye. Repeatedly... But, I suppose you can get a connection and use Skype to your heart's content. Oh joy...

Uh oh, so I might have to listen to someone jabber away on skype the whole flight?
