Internet access will be offered in the American air liners
A number of US airlines are going to offer their clients Internet access right during the flight. So, on Tuesday JetBlue Airways will allow passengers of one of the planes to use e-mail and instant exchange messages system. Other companies - American Airlines, Virgin America and Alaska Airlines - are plan to give wider spectrum of Internet-services within the nearest months, however, passengers will have to pay for theses services.
During take-offs and landings it will not be allowed to use network, but after that ascent passengers will be allowed to send messages through the WorldNet. As it has become known, Virgin America intends to offer Internet even to passengers, who do not have notebooks or smart phones, by means of special screens. Now Virgin’s passengers can already order food and drinks through a small computer.
In spite of the fact that the new technology will allow to provide telecommunication onboard, airlines’ representatives do not hasten to give such opportunity. Other passengers may dislike that a certain talkative fellow travelers will discuss his flight with someone else for several hours, and, if there will be a lot of such fellow travelers, travel will turn into the real nightmare.
The companies recognize that while the Internet onboard the plane is doomed to work much more slowly, than on the ground, and it is necessary to eliminate numerous problems. It is one of the reasons on which users meanwhile will not pay for it. Anyway, Jet Blue becomes the first air carrier in the USA, which will allow its clients to use Internet onboard.
