I ran into this little gem and thought I should share it:
FAA Approves Wi-Fi for United
Business travelers will be happy to learn the sky's not the limit for internet access. Teaming with Verizon Airfone®, United Airlines has become the first U.S. carrier to receive Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approval to install the necessary cabin equipment to enable wireless technology (wi-fi) devices on board a U.S. domestic commercial aircraft.
"Our research shows that connecting to the Internet is customers' most preferred form of communication to the ground, and this certification is a crucial step to bring this in-flight wireless access to our customers," said Dennis Cary, United's SVP Marketing. The date that customers may begin using wi-fi devices on United ultimately will be determined by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the coming months.
