Craving Wi-Fi, Preferably Free and Really Fas



As more and more of the world’s transaction and wealth is run over the internet, it would be fitting for most of us to use electronic devices to aid us in our day to day routine. These devices, ie phones, tablets and laptops have become a major part of most business life and are close to being a necessity for all business workers. What flaw that many people are feeling the effect of is the lack of Wifi. Without this invisible stream of information that allows us to connect to the world wide web, your computer is little more than a small typewriter. More commonly, passengers are looking for more routes to connect to wifi well they travel on flights in and around the world. Many airlines have attempted to implement a wifi system into their planes but it is becoming increasingly difficult to have a few hundred people attempting to steam hours of video and upload massive files well traveling on an aircraft at 500 miles per hour. Never the less, several companies have implemented small amount wifi to allow passengers the chance to check email or download a small file; but this area is very unpublicized. Most airlines do not release what planes have wifi and which ones do not.  To combat this fog of uncertainty, several websites have been created to track and display what flights from dozens of different airlines, offer the amazing service of this wifi.
 
I feel that this is not only the next step for all airlines but it is probably the most important one to date. People, now more than ever are relying to Wifi to run their lives and direct all of what they do. It allows people to upload thousands of lines of text for the world to see, it allows you to stream video of people from all the way around the globe. This service is not only a necessity for most people, but completely implemented into their lives. When the first airlines can offer high speed, strong internet connection on all their planes, that will be the airline that will end up taking more and more of the market, and that is a fact.
