The Internet will come via AirCell's ground-to-air technology, which beams wireless signals up to planes and receives whatever the planes send back. This means anyone on the plane with a Wi-Fi radio-equipped device will be able to use it to access the Internet. That includes smartphones, PDAs, MIDs, and laptops. For flights less than three hours, the cost will be $10. For flights over three hours, the cost will be $13.
My only concern is, how come those stewardesses always lecture us about making sure the wifi switches on our electronic devices are off? I had one recently even refer to it as "airplane" mode. Now that they can charge $10 for it, it's no longer a hazard to the plane?
