E-mail and Internet In the Sky
No Comments
First underwater, and now above the land, Reuters is reporting that soon consumers will be able to access the Internet and e-mail from airplanes, as they fly across the nation or across the globe. In-Flight is reportedly partnering with satellite communications giant Globalstar Telecommunications and wireless technology provider Qualcomm to provide access to the services by next year. In addition to Internet and e-mail, the service will incorporate paging and voice communications via the Internet. The network will feature multiple video channels to tailor content to the flight, and of course, advertisers will get a spot in the services.
