Delta Air Lines to offer Wi-Fi on U.S. flights

Yah baby... I wonder how big the pipe is going to be.

Delta Air Lines to offer Wi-Fi on U.S. flights

Quote:
ATLANTA, Georgia (AP) -- Delta Air Lines Inc. said Tuesday it will offer broadband wireless Internet access on its entire domestic mainline fleet by the middle of next year.

Continental Airlines Inc. previously announced plans to offer similar service across a majority of its mainline fleet. Several other airlines either offer similar service or plan to, though on a much more limited number of flights than the plans by Delta and Continental.

Atlanta-based Delta said Wi-Fi service will be offered for a fee to customers traveling throughout the continental U.S.

The nation's No. 3 carrier is partnering with Aircell, an airborne communications provider, to install the network on Delta's domestic fleet of more than 330 aircraft. Video See report on Delta offering Web access »

The system will allow Delta customers traveling with Wi-Fi enabled devices -- such as laptops, smartphones and PDAs -- to access the Internet while in flight.
