Though there have been claims that in flight VOIP is disallowed, I was able to have a video chat with my wife and daughter at 30k feet somewhere over the continental US on multiple occasions. I just wish they offered some kind of connectivity plan, instead of pay-as-you-go plans.

Other airlines are following suit.I'm on AA Flight No. 15 right now and it's definitely a mixed blessing. Aircell has even added smartphone support so I am able to use my BlackBerry (and BlackBerry messenger) as well as my laptop.I am posting during the flight (we're over South Dakota right now) at www.basexblog.com/2009/04/29/the-last-frontier-in-flight-internet-access-take-2/Regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen/Szívélyes üdvözlet/Cordialement/ Cordiali saluti/Saludos/Vänliga hälsningar/s/ Jonathan Archives
