NEW AIRLINE BROADBAND SERVICE ALLOWS MOVIE RENTALS
Giving air travelers the opportunity for the first time to "rent" movies streamed to their laptops, American Airlines on Wednesday launched Gogo, an Internet service that is now available aboard certain non-stop flights between Yew York and San Francisco, Los Angeles and Miami. Initially, the service will be tested on 15 aircraft for a three- to six-month trial. The broadband service is being provided at a cost of $12.95 on most flights by Aircell, the same company that provides on-board telephone service (voice-over-Internet sites are being blocked by Aircell). Travelers merely wanting to watch a movie in flight may also have to take into account the cost of the rental.
