If you are worried some the connectivity of your WiFi on your flight you will not have to worry much longer, thanks to AT&T. It will be bringing its high-speed 4G LTE connection to commercial planes, hopefully by late 2015. This would mean much faster connection and much happier in-flight customers trying to handle some last minute arrangements over email.
This is part of the effort to make wireless connectivity a much more reliable service while flying. AT&T announced that it has plans to extend its WiFi network within the airline industry. It says it wants to help people with their connectivity issues and to create a better overall experience for travelers. If this comes true, people will be able to do much more work while flying, not to mention be much more relaxed.
