The airlines are rushing to equip all aircraft with WiFi. According to this report, the only US airline that has completed the task is AirTrans (
). <
Skies Become Friendlier For In-Flight Wi-Fi>. Unfortunately, I think the title belies the elephant in the room; some airlines haven't started charging for this service, but they are all paying for it, sooner or later, the user will too. And, as many commenters pointed out, few coach "seats" have enough room to actually open a laptop...more sales possibilities for the iPad? And, unless the flight is from coast to coast, much of the airborne time is actually in the climb/descent where the devices are supposed to be off. Then, there's turbulence, again, where nothing is supposed to be lose, including your body! (Why anyone removes their seat belt is beyond me, except for "calls-of-nature," of course. If they are so good at knowing where the turbulence is, they could make a great deal of money!
