Alaska Airlines to test Wi Fi on planes
I read an article this afternoon that stated Alaska Airlines is going to be the first airliner to try wireless internet access on a plane. The company plans to use a California based company called Row 44’s new technology to put wireless access into a plane. If successful Alaska Airlines will try to put the internet access into all 114 of its aircraft. The technology should work on all routes to the lower 48 states and also on flights to Alaska and Hawaii. I think that wireless internet access will be great on planes, the prices is some what reasonable as well. 10 dollars for the first hour and 27 dollars for 24 hours of access. For passengers travelling on business I think it will allow them to keep up with their business, and it will also be great for regular travelers looking for something other then a nap or the in flight movie.

Seeing Jeff’s Post regarding Wifi for on the Alaska airlines.. You should also check out what Virgin American plans to offer on their flights in terms of technology.. An outlet at every seat as well as a wired ethernet jack as well as video on demand.
