WiFi – Coming to an airplane near you
Having spent 14 hours on planes this week I'm excited to read that a few major airlines will be introducing wifi access on flights. JetBlue will be first (next week) followed by American Airlines, Virgin America and Alaska Airlines.This is a game changer for me. If an airline could guarantee me full web access and a power outlet I'd switch to them, and be willing to pay a little more. Now I just have to find room to actually open my laptop back here in coach ;).Bonus for Canadian readers: Anyone care to bet how long it will take for Air Canada to rolls this out? 3 years?Photo by Aditya Bhelk.
Free wifi at all Starbucks stores tomorrow…
...all Starbucks stores in the UK that is.
Isn't free wifi a no-brainer for the marketing department of a coffee chain? Hell, I'd even go to Coffee Time if I could get online for free there!
