JetBlue Launches Satellite-Based Inflight Wi-Fi 79
First time accepted submitter spineas writes "JetBlue is rolling out a new form of inflight Wi-Fi operating from satellites instead of ground-based cell towers. Up to eight times faster than traditional inflight Wi-Fi, it will enable users to stream video whilst in the air, something that is nearly impossible to do with current dial-up speed access in aircraft."

I can't even get my laptop to connect from the corner of the garden. That's some serious WiFi power!

The Netgear router has been taped to the satellite for months, but it was only last week that they were able to attach the Pringles can.
