Profits Make WiFi ‘Safe’ on Flights

Apparently, the use of WiFi-enabled devices on airplanes is no longer a safety hazard – as long as you pay for the service.  For years, flight crews have required wireless devices be turned off during flight to ‘avoid interference with the plane’s navigational systems’.  But now that GOGO wireless has a pay-for-use service available on American Airlines, that ‘interference’ must not be so concerning and perhaps it was just a bunch of boloney after all.
