The WiFi In The Sky Announcement That Isn't
from the not-much-substance-here... dept
Lots of folks seem to be picking up on this Reuters report claiming that iPass and Boeing will soon let you WiFi from the friendly skies. This is something of a non-announcement, really. First, it really only applies to iPass customers, who use their roaming solution. While plenty of companies do work with iPass, it's not directed at individual users. Second, and much more importantly, this only works on the very, very few flights on which Boeing is offering their Connexion service -- which right now is basically a couple of Lufthansa routes.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
