Alaska Airlines and Row 44 Planning First U.S. Satellite-Based In-Air Wi-Fi

It look like the first U.S. bearer to offer in - trajectory Wi - Fi using a orbiter - free-base setup will be Alaska Airlines , which plan to roll the overhaul out to its integral fleet by 2009 , pending the final result of a monthlong test this spring . Using Row 44 ’s satellite organization or else of an air - to - land one , a la Virgin America and AirCell , means more bandwidth and wider coverage , at least accord to Row 44 ’s CEO .

Either way , since AA ’s road go outside of the continental US and therefore AirCell ’s coverage , satellite seem to be the only way to cover every path they pop the question . Unlike past satellite offerings though , supposedly Route 44 ’s setup is fairly speedy and easy without outrageous command processing overhead time , so hopefully the free access proposed for first and elite social class rider will trickle down to train — though “ a few dollars ” for all - solar day access is sensible enough not to come alive our inner Scrooge .
