Lufthansa and T-Mobile Add In-Flight Broadband by 2008

The race to get broadband in the skies has been running for a while now, but it looks like there is a winner on the horizon. T-Mobile have teamed up with Lufthansa to offer us ordinary people something so special, so craved when we’re 8 hours from our destination.

Another race is that of in-flight calls which is nowhere near finishing. Lufthansa says that “the vast majority told us they don’t want this feature,” which sounds normal enough seeing as noone wants to hear someone shouting ‘No YOU hang up first’ half way down the isle of a plane. Have Lufthansa never heard of skype?

Either way, I hope all the companies really go for this one. There really is nothing worse than being a few hundred feet above a wifi area, knowing that it’s there.

Do you think there could be any problems with this in-built internet service? Tell us how you feel.
