AT&T plans to launch in-flight Wi-Fi service; Gogo plummets http://seekingalpha.com/news/1...ight-wi-fi-service-gogo-plummets

To which I observed:

.@gary_hasty once again showing that what's necessary for the legislated monopoly to innovate is for someone else to build the market. Sigh.

Basically, they're going to use the 4G LTE network to do an air-to-ground system.

But they will require me to turn off my 4G LTE phone service while in-flight for 'safety reasons'.

Scroom. (It's one word, you know.)
