anyone used wireless on any airlines?
in a wireless scan i noted SSIDs like aircell, gogo, alaska-airlines.
at our geographic location i'd think these are coming from airline
provided
wireless.
it seems like airlines have two methods of providing customer wireless.
satellite which is expensive to add to the plane, and cell based
wireless
which is cheaper, but not good for flying over water or wher cell based
infrastructure is sparce.
