Default Airlines look to reconnect to the Web
The airline that lets me conduct a hearing using video conferencing gets my business! My seatmates can be stand by jurors.

Vagabond,

Why not conduct hearings right on this forum, from the comfort of your own home? You'd have a huge jury pool and no need for a court reporter.

It's going to be an interesting case when an airline provides broadband to a passenger who surfs porn - and the seatmate is offended and files suit.

LOL, I was thinking the same thing as well. I'm sure the airline or ISP is going to have a firewall installed so there won't be any of that going on. The only thing you'll have to worry about is Slice video-conferencing with MzKat .
