Mile high club for everyone? — American Airlines debutes In-flight WiFi.

I may have the opposite of that multiple-Oscar-Winning movie with Russell Crowe, but as reported on Engadget, American Airlines has begun offering In-flight WiFi on it’s Boeing 757-200 airplanes using a system by Aircell LLC.

All told the ground-based service, named GoGo, will be offered on all 15 of their 757-200’s for a cost of $12.95 a flight. There are no plans to include any direct VIOP (Voice-over-IP) capabilities at this time, but it will allow you to do basically anything you normally do in a WiFi hotspot. More information can be found at the Source, Dallas Morning News.

What does this mean for you? Well for starters it means only the tech savvy users will be talking your ear off beside you, but what really scares me is their Firewall options… Will they be blocking non “public-friendly” sites? I’m all for free speech and the freedom of information on the Interwebs, but heck… I don’t want to be stuck in a middle seat between some guy watching hardcore rock videos and a girl streaming Hannah Montana concert footage. Do you?

Got ya, didn’t I.

But still, that would stink (at least the Hannah Montana-in-peripheral-view part.)
