Regardless, DAL's performance continues to STINK and we have to fix it.

It's seems as though I have run into another history geek. I'll have to check those places out. I can't wait to get a good, long layover in CHS, so I can visit some Civil War history.

“Our customers already enjoy access to 555 Wi-Fi equipped aircraft on our domestic mainline fleet and will soon enjoy access to an additional 223 Wi-Fi equipped Delta Connection jets by the end of 2011,” Delta said in a statement. “With more than 2,200 flights daily, Delta operates the largest fleet of Wi-Fi enabled aircraft in the world. We are pleased that the in-flight Wi-Fi industry is moving in a direction that takes the needs of global airlines into consideration. We look forward to reviewing new connectivity options for our customers.”

In addition to Aircell’s existing Air-to-Ground (ATG) technology, the company announced it will enable connectivity via a next generation version of ATG called “ATG-4.” ATG-4 will enhance the existing ATG network and improve per aircraft capacity by approximately four times its current performance, and is scheduled for commercial delivery beginning in the first half of next year.

Aircell also announced it will offer “Ka-band” satellite technology, which will provide additional capacity to supplement what is available through ATG, ATG-4 and current generation satellite technology. The new technology will enable Gogo service beyond the continental U.S. by 2015, and will be available in the continental U.S. in 2013.

“Aircraft with missions beyond [the continental United States] will benefit from the geographic flexibility a satellite solution provides,” Aircell said in a release.

I'm guessing Row44 is using WN as a launch plattform for their service that otherwise has no takers, AS trialed Row44 before switching to Aircell...

The big issue is Boeing has identified interference issues between onboard WIFI and 3rd gen 737NG Display Units... (there is no issue with 2nd gen and 4 gen displays)
Wi-Fi interference with Honeywell avionics prompts Boeing action

This will be interesting.
