American Now Offers Mid-Flight Wi-Fi Access

Since Delta is now offering Wi-Fi during their flights, other airlines have begun to follow suit. JetBlue is testing their in-flight Wi-Fi and Alaska Air has installed Wi-Fi on their flights. Now, American is planning on offering Wi-Fi to their passengers on longer non-stop flights. Just like Delta, American plans on charging $12.95 per passenger, per flight for access to the internet. Currently, American is offering the Wi-Fi service on flights that are flying between New York and Los Angeles and San Fransisco and Miami. 

Now the question becomes will the airlines ban certain sites from being accessed? This would be a good idea since an airplane is a public space, where adult content should not be viewed. Also the concern about confidential e-mails being sent and received while 35,000 feet in the air.  The answer to this could simply be, wait until you land to deal with the confidential information, but if that does not work, then just make sure there are not prying eyes or ears nearby.
