WOW, Slomo, very cool! Thanks for sharing that with us. That is sooo cool.
I'm currently on a Lufthansa plane flying to Houston. They are offering broadband wireless internet through the boeing satelites. So my friend and I decided to try who good it is.
Well it's pretty good.
We used Skype with webcams and had a nice conversation. The sound was flawless while the video was roughly 1 frame per second - pretty neat for a mobile application.
The pictures below are screen captures of my friends computer in Izola, Slovenia.

Awesome stuff bro!I wish they offered that kind of service over here, but alas, no luck
As far as I know Lufthansa was the first to offer this service, and still the only one.
You still on that plane?
yep
Another 3 hours to go!
According to the plane's GPS we just made landfall in Canada - Hudson Bay north of Winnipeg.
Too cool!
That's awesome! Do they charge you for that like with the phones?
It's $30 for the whole flight. But the prices are coming down real soon.
It's very cool. I'm 8 hours into the flihgt, still didn't find time to get bored
The weather has been incredible the whole way (except Frankfurt where we were delayed for an hour because of heavy snowfall).
Here's a picture of Greenland I took from my window.
VERY COOL!
Wish I had that on my flight to Japan. I was right in front of a screen with a map marking where we left (Portland) to where we went (Fukuoka), and everytime I looked up, I swear it had been hours but the little airplane moved a centimeter on the screen. Made the time go reaaaally slow...

That's not bad at all for an international flight!

I totally forgot. I've been so busy....
I'm so going to play on pokerstars right now. Thanks for the idea
P.S. Melmart I know the feeling! btw I've checked Lufthansa is the only one of the EU / US companies to offer it. In Asia quite a few carriers are offering it on their flights.
That's awesome. Happy rest of your flight!
I used to HATE that during my 30+ RT flights between SEA and OKINAWA/SEOUL! The whole Outside Temp in F and C, the Time at departure site, the time at arrival site...UGH...I suppose if I was OCD, it might be nice!
That is so awesome.
That picture of Greenland is breathtaking.
That's really fantastic.
Lufthansa's in-flight Internet access costs how much?
30 bucks Boutons
$30 per hour or per flight?
^ per flight
Sounds awesome though! I'm a Net freak so I would love that!
Nice job Slomo!
It's per flight. but they announced a 27$ per 24 hrs package that would work on any airplane during a 24 hours period. So theoretically you could have internet access on all your connecting flights regardless of the carrier. The problem right now is that not enough airlines are offering this service.
what are the dl limits though?
