Some time in 2008, you may be lucky enough to get on a 767-200 transcontinental American Airlines flight that’s testing the AirCell in-flight broadband service. The wireless net access will be available to all classes—yes, even us poor people—for a price. There will be three antennas outside the plane to transmit your 802.11a/b/g “Lolz im on a plane” messages to your buddies. No word on when this will move to widespread deployment. [AA – Thanks Mike]
