In-flight Internet Access Raises New Issues

I don’t know about you, but one of the things I really enjoy about flying is being able to kick back with my copy of Marie Claire or whatever book I happen to be reading and loose myself without the distracting buzz of email or IM. Turns out those days of flying sans internet may be numbered, because several airlines are introducing in-flight internet service.

The Seattle Times recently published an interesting article about the new concerns this raises. Since passengers are in such close proximity, should content be filtered for appropriateness? What about restricting use one Skype and other internet phone services? Hmm… some very thorny questions indeed. If you have an opinion about this topic (and we know you do), leave a comment and share your side of this story!
