Virgin America and Google Launch The First In-Flight Wireless Network
Are you a member of the mile-high club?
Before you answer that, we might need to redefine the term.
On June 24th Virgin America and Google Apps hosted a “Day in the Cloud Challenge,” launching their new Gogo In-Flight network, the first wireless network available to passengers while they fly. Now, as soon as you reach cruising altitude you can log on, email, and update your Facebook status to: Surfing the web at 35,000 ft.”
Touting cloud computing as the wave of the future, Google designed a game for the competition that prompted players to find answers to a series of questions using such popular applications as Google Calendar and Google Maps. To make things even more interesting, Virgin had passengers on two separate California flights competing for prizes, including Netbooks and the chance to win free flights and 1 terabyte of online storage from Google for email and photos.
