Jumbo jet makers Boeing have announced their plans to provide Wi-Fi Internet access in-flight.

The service will allow users of laptop and PDA computers to send e-mail, surf the Internet or even connect to their company network using a VPN while flying at around thirty thousand feet.

Users will be able to buy unlimited access for the duration of the flight for as little as $29.95. Alternatively, users could pay a metered fee which would see charges of around 25 cents a minute.

Boeing also said Ethernet connectivity will be available at a later date, for users without Wi-Fi enabled computers.

The new service called Connexion goes live at the end of next month.

$30 is a bit pricy, but on a 9.5 hour transatlantic flight I get mighty bored. Being able to play pool would have helped pass the time, and, I'd just love to be the first person to run a tourney at 30,000 feet, lol
