If they want to go paperless, there won't be a paper 'dispatch release' anyway.
So we are always going to need some type of free/fast internet connection, every where we go, all over the world, at the gate, to upload our flight plans.
That's exactly what I meant.
FWIW I don't think we will ever be 100% paperless. There's way too much timely information on the dispatch release/paperwork to try and be 100% reliant on a global/airborn wifi conex. We'll always have some amount of paperwork for each flight.
