Wys is it that AA (in the USA) and BA (in the UK) are so low-tech when it comes to Internet access?

For over two years now Canadian, Air Canada, Qantas and Air New Zealand have had several PC's scattered around their lounges with direct access to the Internet - great for being to retrieve E-mail from a hotmail account to which I forward E-mails during trips.

In spite of some complaints, hats off to those airlines who understand and address the requirements of their business travellers who rely on daily E-mail retrieval - even when half way around the world.
