I've heard conflicting reports. Some people say that doing Skype at 30,000 feet works just fine, others say that the latency issues make it too difficult to carry on a conversation. So there's definitely a trade off!]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/06/united-airlines-announces-in-flight-wifi-plans/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/06/united-airlines-announces-in-flight-wifi-plans/Dec 19th 2005 12:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/06/united-airlines-announces-in-flight-wifi-plans/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/06/united-airlines-announces-in-flight-wifi-plans/

I'm sure people allready do that with PDA's and pre downloaded *content*.

I don't think there's any way they could block against ad-hoc networks. Of course, they could possibly run all connections through a proxy that only allow someone with the username and password to enter.
