While they can go on and block everything but port 80, I'm not sure that would necessarily completely defeat VoIP use. I'm sure you'll soon hear about some UMA or Vonage V-phone users getting right through...

(I would rather just go online and bother people through text messaging, anyway. "OMG GUES WHR IM TXTNG U FRM!! A PLANE!!!!

VOIP on a plane... *shudders*

I don't want to spend 4 hours listening to some jackass next to me talking on VOIP. You are already imposing on my personal space with your pointy elbows, I don't want to hear you on the phone!

"IM ON A PLANE. YES WEVE JUST TAKEN OFF. THE CONNECTION IS REALLY BAD. I CAN SEE MY HOUSE FROM HERE" ad nauseum, from a hundred seats across the plane.]]>Jun 24th 2008 2:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/24/american-airlines-to-test-in-flight-wifi-tomorrow/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/24/american-airlines-to-test-in-flight-wifi-tomorrow/Jun 24th 2008 2:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/24/american-airlines-to-test-in-flight-wifi-tomorrow/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/24/american-airlines-to-test-in-flight-wifi-tomorrow/Jun 24th 2008 2:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/24/american-airlines-to-test-in-flight-wifi-tomorrow/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/24/american-airlines-to-test-in-flight-wifi-tomorrow/Jun 24th 2008 3:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/24/american-airlines-to-test-in-flight-wifi-tomorrow/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/24/american-airlines-to-test-in-flight-wifi-tomorrow/
"Fortunately, (or unfortunately depending upon your opinion) the service blocks all VoIP services like Skype."

So I think we're safe.

What makes anyone think that a movie or large document would be any less important than an email? I could be a traveling doctor downloading a video of my colleagues' assessment of a critically ill patient, while you could be getting email jokes. No one should have the authority to judge someone else's Internet priorities. Not me, not you; no one.

What I dread most, however, is that this will eventually lead to cellphones on planes - a can of worms which most definitely should not be opened.]]>Jun 24th 2008 2:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/24/american-airlines-to-test-in-flight-wifi-tomorrow/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/24/american-airlines-to-test-in-flight-wifi-tomorrow/Always.]]>Jun 24th 2008 3:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/24/american-airlines-to-test-in-flight-wifi-tomorrow/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/24/american-airlines-to-test-in-flight-wifi-tomorrow/"Dozens of planes crash as unforeseen radio interference occurs"
