So, you’re on Qantas and you want to surf for porn (for whatever reason) during your flight. Can you?
Nope. Apparently, Qantas has nixed plans to offer live Internet access on its flights. They will instead offer “cached Internet content” (whatever that means):
A Qantas spokeswoman said the internet plans had been paired back due to “logistical and regulatory issues” encountered by its connectivity provider, OnAir. The airline said the full internet service was now scheduled to be available “later in 2009”.
It would not elaborate on the issues and OnAir did not respond to requests for comment.
Clearly Qantas doesn’t think that their passengers can properly behave on their flights. But if enough passengers take their flying dollars elsewhere, that opinion may change.
