The technology is in place at Lufthana quite some time effectively, but today it is the first time that it is also live on the Frankfurt-Bangalore flight LH 754. To keep the proper Captain’s speak given my own pilot license: “We are presently cruising at Flight Level 350 or 35,000 feet overhead Turkey heading in south-easterly direction at clear sky and calm flight conditions.” Internet from Boing Connexion is working perfectly, I actually also just had a Skype-chat with Dildar who is at present in India.
With fast internet on board of a long-distance plane, in fact the last remaining gap in the flat world has been closed. Hence, your seat on the plane becomes your fully equivalent globalization-office-desk. Once again the evidence: Geography is History – now even in the air :-)
