Seems a bit pricing, may have the similar fate of airplane phones. Perhaps airline greed will stop people from using a good service.
Now if they offered to let me use my laptop during taxing, and landing, that perhaps I would use and pay this much. I travel between Bay Area and Seattle all the time and in this short 2 hour flight, at least 45 minutes are blackout period. $9.95 for 1 hour is too much.

True, but no one was giving out data on the throughputs yet. Virgin and Delta said it should resemble existing Wi-Fi connection, but that varies depending on the internet service and version of Wi-Fi. Will add info if I find out from Aircell or a carrier.

@Gary

It should be a little better than typical 3G. Using it for Hulu seems unlikely, although probably possible if you are the only one on the flight trying to do any streaming. E-mail, web browsing, and IM, are really more the target apps.

In these cases, does anyone know the throughput of the shared downlink to the plane? Will determine your ability to watch Hulu among other things.
