AA to test in-flight broadband access

American Airlines says it will test adding broadband Internet access to the Boeing 767-200 jets it uses on transcontinental routes, Reuters reports. The tests are set to begin next year and AA says the Web access could be expanded if the service proves popular, according to The Dallas Morning News (free registration). The Associated Press says AA “will charge a fee for the hookup but won’t announce the charge until broadband-equipped flights are ready to go, according to AirCell, the company providing the hookup.” However, The Denver Business Journal (free registration) says the “service is projected to cost passengers $10 per flight for unlimited broadband access.”
