Definitely, I will be interested of this service. However, there should be restrictions ro control on providing internet service to avoid internet down-time (e.g. online games, voip, and the like) This a good news for travellers, especially for flights more than 12 hours.

Here's a blog post on it at the the time from me doing PVP at 30,000 feet. http://blogs.msdn.com/danielfe/archive/2005/05/10/416238.aspx @DemonWasp, I used Boeing’s service in May 2005 when they were still around and while there was some latency, World of Warcraft was still playable.

It's a satellite connection to a ground station, so you have to think: total latency = (plane-to-satellite + satellite-to-ground + ground-to-source) * 2 for making the return trip. So: no gaming on airlines, no VOIP without a massive lag (though you can work through that), and probably not enough bandwidth for video for a long time. You can figure that internet browsing could get old fast, too, since any site's load time would be increased by that "total latency" I talked about. This system isn't for "fun" uses, it's for business stuff (email)...in my opinion. I could be wrong, and it'd be nice if I was. Think of the laaaaaag.

So now we have in flight online access, pretty cool. They still won't let you use a mobile phone. :P It could be literally referred to as “high-speed Internet access” since your on a plane.

Still, I think price will be the major factor affecting general adoption. It might end up dividing the haves from the have-nots. If it proves to be expensive, I'll just carry a battery powered hub and a bunch of network cables with me and try to leach off someone in business class ;) Can’t wait for this to be ubiquitous!

I'm not sure I need to be connected so often that I'd pay for it in yet one more place. It would depend on the price of course and how much work I had to do. Usually I'm fine taking a nap on flights, though. It's still pretty cool to be able to connect to the internet from the plane. How long till the first person sends "You'll never guess where I'm emailing you from" I see the use for business travelers.
