If You’re An Internet Addict, Use This Airline
… Virgin Airlines! The company is in the process of launching their Gogo in-flight Internet service, and plan to stream the event live, making it the first in-flight streaming online video produced.
The first flight won’t be to Paris or Milan, but will rather fly a circle pattern over San Francisco while members of the media try out some of their new web-features. A portion of the event will be streamed Live to YouTube. That is, 35000 feet high to users on ground level. Pretty amazing.
When can you enjoy the new in-flight interent? One aircraft equipt with the technology will be available to flyers after November 24th, with the full fleet expected to launch in the second quarter of 2009.
