36000 feet

How cool is that: Lufthansa provides on its long-haul flights WiFi access. My friends told me about it, but today – heading back from Reno via Frisco and Munich to Zurich – it’s the first time that I experience it. It’s not cheap, but also not terribly expensive. I pay a USD 26.95 flat fee for the entire 11+ hours flight. Right now, we’re overflying Anaconda (USA), altitude 36000 feet. So, we’re getting yet another step closer to “always online”… (and Skype, too, works up here! I’m loving it.)

    Now all we need are laptop batteries that actually last 11+ hours. Or maybe less power-consuming CPUs/HDs/displays etc…
    Does Skype work as a VOIP solution or only as an instant messenger?
