blogging from an airplane

By 10/03/2011May 6th, 20263 Comments


Nice, here I am some 20.000 feet above some obscure part of the United States of America, blogging like there is no tomorrow. Wifi in an airplane. kinda neat :-).
I crossed a number of airports on my long journey towards SxSW in Austin, non of them provided free wifi… nor power sockets.
I do not get it. charging up to 15 euros for an hour of connectivity is a scam, pure robbery and should be exposed. Shame on you, Brussels Airport, and shame on you Chicago o hara!
One would expect that airports should have understood by now that free access for the traveler is more than a simple courtesy, it’s answering to a growing demand of mobile people.
o well….

    Or as Samuel Jackson would put it: “There’s motherf*cking WIFI on this motherf*cking plane!” 🙂

    I also reckon all airports should offer free WiFi, it makes travelling more bearable (“Oh, you’ve got a 5 hour delay sir, but enjoy the WiFi.”) for people who are often cut of from friends/family 🙂
