I am sure there will be a handful of folks that will avoid Delta flights now. I can only imagine how many folks gonna get into arguments. Someone is gonna wanna launch Skype and it will annoy the person trying to take a power nap before that meeting. Can you imagine the sounds of keyboards in the plane and no way to escape it? Who will be the first person to access adult content while flying if Delta doesn't implement IDS. I can't wait to see the results. I for one will avoid Delta flights now. |

Good.
For the record.. people already use their laptops on flights.. it's nothing new. From the sound of your post, you're not a frequent flier anyway NOR do you have a concept of what this is about..
If you think laptops are the only things that use "the internet" then you need to read up on new technology. I'm just wondering if the keys on my iTouch would wake you up on your power nap? Besides, I find that statement to be such a self centered and selfish one at best. If someone wants to sleep on a plane, IF they can, more power to them. However, who is to say that someone's desire to nap trumps that of the person who wants to be on their laptop or any WiFi device? (So far, VoIP has been blocked on board - again, focus) I'll admit I fly 1st and not really ever in coach, but even when in coach, I'm flying for business and often at the last minute. I can use a similar "justification" argument and say that my top dollar ticket gives me the right to use MY seat as I please more so than the low cost traveler wanting to power nap.
If a handful of people want to avoid Delta, so be it! It won't hurt them.. besides, those that are so touchy and sensitive about what everyone is doing around them REALLY need to check into a program and get beyond their anger problems because there are some real issues to deal with. This "me" world is getting really old. |

@newskies.net | I am currently deployed to Afghanistan and take leave every six months. This my third tour out here, and it takes me a good 15 hours + just to get Atlanta then from there I take my connecting flight to my state. Does this answer your question? |

I just watched the information videos on the gogo inflight site and in the "Inflight Etiquette" video, they say specifically that voice calls are prohibited. I wonder how they will enforce that?
The other thing that bothered me about the site is that it does not support Linux. "Platforms supported include: Blackberry, Windows Mobile, Apple, and Nokia (Symbian S60)." The instructions for logging in don't appear to be anything that would inhibit use from Linux, but absence from the list gives them a deserved raspberry.
