This year the carrier is installing Aircell real-time broadband connection on all 15 of its Boeing 767-200 aircraft, which mainly fly transcontinental routes. This upgrade will provide an Internet connection, VPN (virtual private network) access, and e-mail capabilities through Wi-Fi-enabled laptops, PDAs, and portable gaming devices. Speed will be comparable to wireless, mobile, broadband services on the ground and coverage will be seamless over the continental US above 10,000 feet. The kicker: Whether you’re in economy or First, there’s a charge, which American hasn’t yet announced.
