Airborne Porn

You've got to know that this is bound to happen when you install Wi-Fi on commercial airliners like American Airlines is doing. So far 16 of their aircraft are testing the new systems that allow passengers to access the internet while in flight. Of course passengers aren't just checking PointNiner.com while airborne. Some are making visits to nudie sites which has got American Flight Attendants and fellow passengers concerned about the content. So as American Airlines, what do you do?

Proton Launch Brings In-Flight Broadband Closer

Rockets, and airplanes, and broadband, and blogging...these are a few of my favorite things. This post combines all of them following the successful return-to-flight launch of the Russian Proton rocket after a 5 month complete redesign of the Breeze M upper stage. Launched August 18th from the Baikonur Cosmodrome this particular Proton was boosting into orbit the third and final Inmarsat I-4 communications satellite that will enable in-flight broadband Internet connectivity for commercial airlines through the service SwiftBroadband which is a division of Inmarsat. Andrew Sukawaty, chairman and CEO of Inmarsat said, "The Inmarsat-4s are the world's most sophisticated commercial network for mobile voice and data services, and the successful launch of the third I-4 allows us to complete the global coverage for our broadband services." And its not just the Internet. Air France started test using the voice elements for in-flight cell phone usage back in April. I'm looking forward to the day when PointNiner will be published from 32,000 feet.
