Finally it would appear airlines are starting to roll-out internet access on 'planes. I trialled the British Airways one years ago, and was extremely impressed but nothing ever came over it.

256 kbps possible now, 432 kbps soon![Big Grin](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Not just Internet, you may be able to use your mobile phone on the aircraft soon as well
The aircraft will have its own pico-cell with the satcomms providing the backhaul.
