Bernie Arnason over at Telecompetitor notes that in-flight broadband provider Aircell (GoGo) thinks the company deserves some of the $7.2 billion in broadband stimulus funds. Stimulus fund reviewers will likely view the request as absurd, given in-flight technology right now remains a bit of a luxury and there's vast stretches of space here on the ground that remains unserved. Aircell's playing up the funding request as a way to beef up public safety, their bid saying the added funds "will allow Inflight Internet service to be more widely available for national security agencies and accelerate adoption by U.S. airlines and millions of domestic passengers." "What's next, the unserved population on cruise ships?" jokes Arnason
