When will they realize that we can be out of touch for three hours? I know it is comparing apples and oranges in terms of the diofficulty in providing service, but compare the price for three hours of service on the plane to 24 hours of service at the airport. Checking a few airport wireless charges, I see prices for 24 hours of use ranging from free to $9.95. That’s the attitude that killed the Connexion system from Boeing a few years ago.
