Airline Wi-Fi takes off as service plummets precipitously

Written by Esme Vos

Topics: Mobile-Wireless

One had giveth, the other taketh away. Delta Airlines announced it will be providing Wi-Fi service on all US domestic flights by the end of the summer. That’s good news. The bad news: expect service levels to decline on all US airlines as they penny-pinch their way to bankruptcy. I’ve read in the news that some airlines are charging for water, soda, coffee, blankets, pillows and extra baggage. Soon they’ll have coin-operated toilets.

Meanwhile the European rail experience just got better with St. Pancras station in London adding free Wi-Fi service. Note: they have the longest champagne bar in Europe!
