I don't want to hear anything while traveling. Once the door closes, nothing would please me more than a cone of silence. Instead of the non-smoking sign, they should replace it with a STFU logo.
I'm with you on that... which is why I never leave home without my noise-cancelling headphones and iPod.
A big thank you to Gogo for a wonderful dinner and the generous discount. I'd used their service prior to the event and look forward to it being available system-wide.

Now I guess that DL and Gogo can try to bring all of the FAs into a bit of the knowledge fold. A number of times this month I inquired if this aircraft had inflight internet service and received a blank look in return.
The other day an FAs announcement mentioned its availability when, in reality, it was not on that flight.
I would like to add my thanks for Gogo for hosting the dinner at Prime, as well as offering a nice discount for Delta forum FlyerTalk members.
Gogo has been taking proactive measures to help benefit the Delta forum FlyerTalk community, and it is greatly appreciated.There is the possibility of adding www.flyertalk.com to that list of Internet web sites that would be accessible for free...

Until Boeing decided to stop offering it, El Al had it across the water so apparently there is no technological problem.
At this time Aircell is focused on successfully completing its roll out of Gogo on our clients’ domestic fleets. In September 2008, Aircell announced Air Canada as its first major non-U.S. airline customer, however the service will initially only be made available in the U.S. In the future, Aircell will be expanding its network and presence throughout the remainder of North America to include Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean. Beyond North America, we are drawing upon our ATG and satellite backgrounds to explore the most cost-effective connectivity solutions globally.

In addition to segment passes, Gogo offers a 30 day pass on Delta. We are evaluating subscriptions as an option for the future. Be sure and join our email list to be alerted to new offerings.

I agree with the decision. The thread is valuable in helping us understand the new technology and how to use it. And the discount offer is simply for "testing the new technology." Good waiver of the FT guidelines.
I just returned from a trip to Chicago and used my Treo 750 (with wifi card) to access Gogo. I have to say that it worked flawlessly (I used my hand-held device exclusively since my laptop battery life is astonishingly short-lived). The Treo connected and worked quite well; I chatted on MSN, sent emails, checked my flight's progress on FlightAware (a big plus IMHO) and had an all-around good time. Thanks again Gogo!
Was able to AOL chat and email (of course telling everyone I was flying) and sftp a bunch of files. Good speed and connection stayed constant for entire flight.
