Blogging from 30,000 ft

Friday, May 15th, 2009

I’m currently flying somewhere high above the lower 48 on a Wi-Fi enabled Delta flight.  This in itself is not news - as of today 150 of Delta’s 300 domestic planes are equipped with in-flight Wi-Fi.  What surprised me is the speed and openness of the service.  I was worried that streaming audio/video might be rough and that anything fun or useful would be blocked.  Quite the contrary: I’m watching TV on Hulu without any problems, AIM and Skype work fine (including voice calls), and SSH is open so I can tunnel out if anything is in fact blocked.  Nice work, Gogo.
