Expanding the market
Aircell's in-flight Wi-Fi services is called Gogo and costs $12.95 for flights over three hours. American Airlines has flights over three hours. American Airlines has the system installed on just 15 flights for now， all of which fly coast-to-coast routes. Doug Backelin， the carrier's manager of in-flight communications and technology， said the company [would] evaluate customer feedback over three the six months before deciding whether to expand Gogo across its domestic fleet.
"it's a turbulent time for the airlines， with oil moving Wi-Fi hotspots weighs about 150 pounds， with Backelin said was "not extravagant." Three antennas on the aircraft search for the best signal from 92 ground-based towers in the continental U.S. Aircell built about 10 of these towers and leases the rest. Meanwhile， back on the plane， passengers can access the wireless and personal data assistants.
The future of in-flight Internet
Blumenstein said Aircell's capabilities are evolving in tandem with developments in the cellular industry， which is now inversting in fourth-generation （4G） networks that will allow speedier transmission of heavy data traffic. The next generation of networks is expected to spur growth in multimedia features on mobile phones， with consumers streaming video or playing graphics-intensive games on their handsets. For Gogo users， the advent of 4G networks could mean watching liver HDTV in the air， Blumenstein said.
"we are riding that curve， and it's one of the fastest technology curves the world has ever seen."
