Connexion by Boeing

Wow. WiFi in the air. This is how it should always be, even though I know the massive cost is what holds the airlines back. Maybe we'll have to turn to JetBlue for affordable consumer Internet airline service? I feel like a rock star - chartered jet, Eric Rice, Phil Torrone, Robert Scoble mere seats away. They're serving champagne, but I'm playing the part of a responsible passenger. In fact, I'm holding off on uploading anything massive (like photos or live video) so that others might also enjoy this experience. Doesn't seem like we've tapped Connexion's connection potential. Skype is amazing up here - unbelievable quality. Okay, I know I said I was acting responsible, but one of Skype's selling points is that it doesn't use much bandwidth to get its data packets across the infobahn. Noise canceling headphones are a necessity for flights, no doubt. Does anybody use those stupid phones in the back of the seats, anyway? Oh, and they also have live outlets underneath the seats, so there's no fear of ever running out of juice. Goodonya, Boeing.

You, rock star, you!

Skype in United Kingdom - August 13, 2007 @ 11:00 am

d section off part of the cabin in today’s world of seat revenue chasing, but a plane with Skype in every seat would be even better. It’s a shame that Connexion by Boeing got axed before I had a chance to try it out, but according toChris Pirilloand Vincent Brousseau Skype worked like a dream. Maybe SRB can make it happen again…
