Now accessing internet while flying is completely possible.
A popular American airline company has recently has teamed up with
Yahoo and Research in Motion (RIM) to offer this Wireless Internet for its passengers.. http://askwiki.blogspot.com/2007/12/...le-flying.html Good Day!! |

Good Day!! We've been able to use the internet in our CAP aircraft (182) for awhile. It uses sat based internet. However, its not super reliable. Boeing actually offered in flight internet access a few years ago but not enough airlines purchased it, so the technology isn't new. |

Boeing actually offered in flight internet access a few years ago but not enough airlines purchased it, so the technology isn't new. If an aircraft is flying in the continental US, what is the typical maximum distance from aircraft to aviation-related point-of-presence (POP)? Anything will do...a radio beacon, FSS, whatever...as long as it has electricity. It would seem that, if this distance is short enough, the aircraift could behave like a giant cell phone, with the POPs being the base- servivce-stations (BSS). I realize that, with Internet Protocol, the technical challenges of mobility are different, but if these challenges were overcome, the system would probably be more reliable (and faster) than satellite-based systems. The system could also be used for communication normally reserved for the radio, with VOIP, etc. It seems that many of the limitations to advancing the field of aviation has to do with the information technology infrastructure. The FAA's NexGen project for example, (http://www.aci-na.org/docs/FAA %20Reauthorization%20House%20Hearing%20Report%20Se nate%20Approves %20FY2007%20Funding.pdf) is not feasible unless there is a gross reassesment of the nature of air-to-air and air-to-ground communication. IOW, IMO, they will have to solve a problem that computer sciences have been trying to solve for 30 years: creating a well-formed supernetwork that goes beyond what the current Internet offers, one that includes real mobility, and ad-hoc mesh networks in the sky. -Le Chaud Lapin- |

Wow...that would be a cool way to pass the time between PDX and New Orleans next month, except my 747 would cease to exist after 90 minutes (or less, depending on battery charge and monitor brightness settings.) 'Course, TSA would probably just shoot me if they saw a joystick in my carry-on. Probably figure I was going to try to hijack the plane with it or something. -c |
