Delta Airlines has become the first major U.S. air carrier to announce plans for fleet-wide in-flight Wi-Fi service, promising to roll out broadband Wi-Fi on its entire 330-plane domestic fleet by the second half of 2009. Delta will be installing Aircell’s Gogo system on its planes, enabling customers with notebook computers, PDAs, smartphones, and other Wi-Fi savvy devices to access the Internet…and, of course, services like corporate VPNs, business and personal email, and (we imagine) the odd Web site.
