I can understand this being a priority on routes that take longer than 10 hours. But, whats wrong with working offline, or reading during that time? Its not like you're going to be able to pull down large amounts of data, or view realtime video.
- apaprocki 14y agoThat isn't true. I was on a Delta flight to JSConf in Portland in 2011 when Osama bin Laden was killed and was watching it live as it was unfolding. Just this week I was flying to/from LAX and was Citrix'd into work to deal with some issues. I was getting roughly 300kbit up/down on the last trip. The whole plane has about 3Mbps bandwidth.

Also, when programming, I find I'm much more productive when I have the internet available for looking up docs, getting libraries, etc.
