   Oh, this sucks... I guess I was one of the "few" people then that actually used the service... The service was good, particularly useful when I needed to IM some others while in-flight.Of course, the service would take off a whole lot faster and have more users if the airlines would allow and/or accommodate laptop plugs in economy-class seats... Otherwise, it would be no use to have paid for a full flight's use of the Internet and yet have your laptop die two/three hours after starting!

   I guess with nonsesn such as forbidding laptops on-board makes this idea not feasible anymore. No laptops > no need to have internet onboard.

   ya its a shame were starting to lose our right on bringing technology on board and the airliners are smart to not waste their time and money trying to get internet up their when its not even known if we'll be able to bring MP3's with us for security purposes in the future hopefully technology will enable them to fully be able to check our technology for explosives and allow us to bring our tech with us again, then it would be worth it to try to get internet in flight
