United gives you free access only if you are a mileageplus member I think?
Regardless, having free high speed internet on a flight will motivate me as a consumer every time.
- theultdev 7mo agoJoining United MileagePlus is completely free, you just sign up. About the same work as filling out a hotel wifi login.
- kevincox 7mo agoCompletely free as in you don't have to give them money. But you need to give personal information which also has value.
- schmookeeg 7mo agoMore personal information than you provide them to purchase the ticket to use the free starlink?
- kevincox 7mo agoProbably, because you are now associating your internet browsing with your personal information. (I don't know if they have the sophistication to actually do this, but it is very possible.)
- theultdev 7mo agoThe people concerned with that hypothetical can use a VPN. At most they could see domains, ip addresses, timestamps, and http-only sites (are there any left?) But the person sitting next to you can see everything.
- tjoff 7mo agoRegardless one of the conditions surely is giving them permissions to sell this to starlink as and everyone else. So whether the information is the same is probably irrelevant, how they are using it is.
- chronic20001 7mo ago> But you need to give personal information which also has value. You also give up your personal information when you step outside, take a bus, train, or drive a car. Hell, even if you stay at home, you are giving up information for free that you are NOT outside.
- raw_anon_1111 7mo agoYou realize you have to give them the same informaron to even step foot on the plane?
- bs7280 7mo agoThat's why I exclusively pay cash and don't show an ID when I fly /s
