Gogo is launching a new network in 2014 that will connect airplanes at 60 Mbps. That capacity will be shared among passengers, but given Gogo’s high prices, you won’t face too much competition for bandwidth.
Aircell, the company behind Gogo in-flight Internet Wi-Fi service is ready to add smartphones in airplane seats. Today the company announced an Android device for voice calls on the GoGo Biz Voice service that could be used to sell apps and services to a captive audience.
