Hoping to soothe delayed passengers, several airlines want to install wireless Internet access in airport terminals that will allow travelers to work, surf the Web or even watch digital movies to pass the time.

Great post DOC. When UA join this Century and installs computers into their RCC like most other civilised airlines, it will make this even better for those like me who can't be bothered lugging a laptop around the world! Looks like they want to charge for this.
"United Airlines, which had the worst on-time performance in August among the major carriers, announced plans to start its own Internet service next year at 30 airports. Passengers will need only a computer with the right wireless modem -- the latest laptops are equipped -- and a few dollars to pay for access. Frequent fliers will be able purchase an unlimited access account for $40 to $60 a month". |
Come visit some European carriers lounges!
You are LUCKY if you can find a PAY phone to plug your laptop into....and if you can figure out how to do it! Dream on about actually finding connected computers!

As well as e-mail, a MAS 3000 server on board downloads and stores web pages for passengers to browse. It will allow passengers to play multi-player network PC or Nintendo games.
