ʻO kekahi mau mokulele US, ʻo ia hoʻi ʻo Delta Air Lines Inc., Virgin America, AMR Corp.'s American Airlines, Southwest Airlines Co., Alaska Air Group Inc. a me UAL Corp.'s United Airlines, e ʻōwili nei i ka ʻenehana e lawe mai i ka lawelawe pūnaewele uila. i nā haneli o nā mokulele - he neʻe e hoʻohiki e ʻae i ka poʻe kaʻa e komo mau i ka Pūnaewele a me ka leka uila i ka wā e lele ana. ʻO nā lawelawe hou he mea hoihoi loa ia i ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi ʻoihana ʻoihana ʻaʻole hiki ke kū i waho o ka leka uila no hoʻokahi hola a ʻelua paha i ka lele.

ʻO kēlā me kēia mea lawe kaʻa e hoʻokumu i kahi poʻo nui e hoʻomaka ma mua o nā mea hoʻokūkū hiki ke loaʻa ka pōmaikaʻi i ke kaua e huki i kēia poʻe kaʻa i makemake nui ʻia. Manaʻo nā mokulele e loaʻa ka loaʻa kālā mai ka Internet-access fees i nā kumukūʻai hoʻonohonoho, ma kahi o $100,000 no kēlā me kēia mokulele no ka lawelawe hoʻohana nui ʻia, a hoʻohui i kā lākou mau laina lalo.

ʻO ka paʻakikī nui loa no ka poʻe lele ʻo ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi lele e hāʻawi maoli ana i ke komo Wi-Fi. ʻOiai e hoʻomaka ana kekahi mau mokulele e haʻuki i ke komo Wi-Fi, i kēia manawa, ʻaʻohe mea lawe nui i kūkulu i kahi pono. ʻAʻole hiki i kekahi o nā mokulele nui ke hoʻohiki i nā mokulele e hāʻawi i ka lawelawe. ʻO ia ke ʻano he manawa ma mua o ka haʻi ʻana o ka hapa nui o nā mokulele mokulele i ke keʻena home e hiki iā lākou ke hoʻomau i ka hana ma waena o ka lewa.

ʻO ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, ka mea lawe hoʻemi hou i hoʻokumu ʻia e Sir Richard Branson, ke neʻe wikiwiki nei i waho o ka ʻīpuka Wi-Fi, me ka hoʻolālā e loaʻa nā mokulele 28 āpau i ka hopena o Mei. Ma nā mea lawe nui me nā ʻauwaʻa ʻoi aku ka nui, e lawe i nā makahiki e hoʻokomo i nā mokulele āpau. ʻO Delta, ʻo ia ka makahiki i hala i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia ka mea mua o nā mokulele nui e hoʻolako i kāna mau ʻauwaʻa holoʻokoʻa āpau me ka lawelawe, aia ʻo Wi-Fi ma kahi o 130 mau mokulele i kēia manawa a ʻaʻole e pau i ka hoʻolako ʻana i nā 500 āpau a hiki i ka hopena o ka makahiki e hiki mai ana. Hoʻolālā ʻo American Airlines e loaʻa i ka 150 o kāna mau mokulele 600 Wi-Fi i hiki i ka hopena o ka makahiki.

Wahi a nā mokulele nui ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke hōʻoiaʻiʻo i nā mokulele e hōʻike i ka lawelawe no ka mea e neʻe pinepine ʻia nā mokulele a me nā papa manawa. "Pono e hoʻolaha ʻia ka lawelawe a puni ka ʻauwaʻa" ma mua o ka hoʻohiki ʻana o ka mokulele i nā poʻe kaʻa ma kahi huakaʻi, wahi a ka ʻōlelo a ʻAmelika ʻo Tim Smith.

Ua hoʻolaha ikaika ʻo Delta i ka lawelawe i nā mahina i hala iho nei - i loko o kāna magazine in-flight, billboards a me kekahi mau hoʻolaha mokulele - ʻoiai ʻaʻole ia e papa inoa i nā mokulele e hāʻawi maoli iā Wi-Fi. Ma ke ahiahi Poalua o ka mahina i hala, ma Delta Flight 1782 mai Atlanta a i New York's LaGuardia Airport, ʻaʻohe mea hōʻike ma mua o ke kau ʻana i ka Boeing 757 i lako me Wi-Fi. Ua hōʻoia ka Journal ma mua o ka manawa me Delta i ka lele ʻana i kēlā lā i hōʻike ʻia i ka lawelawe, akā ʻaʻole hiki i kahi kaʻa maʻamau ke hana like.

ʻO ka hōʻailona mua i loaʻa iā 1782 ka lawelawe he wahi decal liʻiliʻi ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka puka mokulele me kahi hōʻailona Wi-Fi o ke ʻano i kau pinepine ʻia ma nā hale kūʻai kofe a me nā lobbies hōkele.

I ka holo ʻana o nā mea kaʻa, ua hoʻolaha ke kahu mokulele ʻo Linda Oakes ma luna o ka intercom: "Loaʻa iā mākou kā mākou kūlana kiʻekiʻe o ka mokulele i ka pūnaewele ma luna o ka moku." Ua aʻo ʻo ia i nā poʻe kaʻa e heluhelu i kahi pepa pepa pepa e waiho ana ma ka ʻeke noho hope, e wehewehe ana i nā ʻōlelo kuhikuhi maʻalahi e pili ana i ke komo ʻana i ka wā e lele ana ka mokulele a ma luna o 10,000 kapuaʻi. ʻAʻole ʻae ʻia ka lawelawe ma lalo o kēlā kiʻekiʻe.

ʻO ke kumu o nā kuhikuhi: E hoʻā i kāu kamepiula. (Manaʻo kōkua: Pono kāu kamepiula e hoʻolako i ke kelepona ʻole.) E ʻimi i ka ʻuena uila a hoʻohui. E wehe i kāu polokalamu kele pūnaewele a hahai i nā ʻanuʻu pūnaewele e uku no ka lawelawe me kahi kāleka hōʻaiʻē.

E like me ʻAmelika, ʻAmelika ʻAmelika, a me ka lawelawe i hoʻolālā ʻia e United, hoʻohana ʻo Delta i kahi ʻōnaehana i kapa ʻia ʻo Gogo, i hoʻomohala ʻia e Aircell LLC. ʻO ka lawelawe, e hoʻohana ana i nā hale kiaʻi kelepona ma ka ʻāina no kāna hōʻailona, he $9.95 no nā mokulele ma lalo o ʻekolu hola a me $12.95 no nā mokulele lōʻihi. Hiki i ka poʻe me nā hāmeʻa paʻa lima Wi-Fi hiki ke hoʻopaʻa inoa no $ 7.95 a ʻōlelo ka ʻoihana e hoʻolauna koke ia i kahi hala o kēlā me kēia mahina no nā huakaʻi e manaʻo nei e hoʻohana pinepine i ka lawelawe i kēlā me kēia manawa 30 mau lā.

Hoʻohana ʻia kahi lawelawe hoʻokūkū i hāʻawi ʻia e Row 44 Inc. i nā leka uila no kāna hōʻailona a ke hoʻāʻo ʻia nei e Southwest a me Alaska. ʻAʻole i hoʻoholo ʻia nā kumukūʻai no ia lawelawe.

ʻO ka hapa nui o nā mokulele 1782 e hoʻohana ana iā Gogo i ʻōlelo ua maʻalahi lākou e hoʻohana a ʻoi aku ka wikiwiki e like me ka hapa nui o nā wahi Wi-Fi ma ka ʻāina.

"Makemake au e ʻike i nā mokulele i loaʻa a ʻaʻole nā mokulele," wahi a Scott Brown, he luna hoʻokele o Atlanta me kahi hui ʻenehana Denemaka, e noho ana ma hope o ka ʻāpana ʻoihana. "He mea nui ka hiki ke noho paʻa."

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Mr. Brown ua hiki iā ia ke nānā i ke wikiō pūnaewele ola, hoʻouna i ka leka uila a hana i nā hana pūnaewele ʻē aʻe me ka kali ʻole. Ma ka noho aʻe, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Sean Hill, he luna kūʻai aku me kahi kaulahao hale ʻaina ʻo Atlanta, ua ʻōlelo maʻalahi ʻo ia i komo i loko o kāna ʻoihana pilikino pilikino. "Ua hiki ia'u ke hana i na hana he nui," wahi a Mr.

ʻOiai ua maʻalahi ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka ʻōnaehana no ka poʻe me nā kamepiula pilikia ʻole, ʻaʻole pono ka poʻe kaʻa e manaʻo e kū nā kahu lele no ke keʻena loea IT inā pilikia lākou i ke komo ʻana. "Ua loaʻa iā mākou he 20 mau hola o ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana ma ka ʻōnaehana," i hoʻohenehene ʻo Ms. Oakes, ke kahu mokulele, me ka wehewehe ʻana he pōkole wale nā mea lawelawe i nā kumu o ka lawelawe, akā ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo he liʻiliʻi ka ʻike o nā pilikia ʻenehana e hiki mai ana.

Ma kahi mokulele Delta hou ma waena o Wakinekona, DC, a me Atlanta, ua ʻōlelo nā kahu mokulele ʻaʻole lākou i ʻike inā loaʻa ʻo Wi-Fi a hoʻomāʻewaʻewa i ka manaʻo e kōkua lākou i kahi kaʻa e pilikia ana ke komo ʻana.

Hāʻawi ʻo Aircell i kahi lawelawe kamaʻilio ola me nā limahana kākoʻo ʻenehana i ka wā e komo ai nā mea kūʻai aku; Ua ʻōlelo kekahi mea kūʻai aku i ke kikowaena kākoʻo ma mua o 40 mau kamaʻilio i kēlā me kēia lā. Akā ʻaʻole maikaʻi loa ia no ka poʻe hiki ʻole ke komo i ka pūnaewele ma kahi mua.

Pono e hoʻomanaʻo nā poʻe holo he kakaikahi nā mokulele mokulele i kēia manawa i loaʻa nā mana mana ma luna o ka papa ʻoihana. Ke hoʻokomo nui nei nā mokulele iā lākou ma nā mokulele hou, akā pono e hoʻopiʻi nā poʻe holo i nā kamepiula ma ka ʻaoʻao palekana.

ʻO kekahi hopohopo ʻo ka palekana. I kēia pule, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Netragard LLC, kahi hui palekana pūnaewele, ua hiki i kāna mau mea hoʻāʻo ke kāpae i ka ʻikepili mai ka lawelawe ʻo Gogo. "He mea maʻalahi loa ia no ka mea hacker ma luna o ka moku e hoʻopaʻa a hoʻopaʻa i nā ʻikepili āpau i hoʻouna ʻia a loaʻa mai e nā poʻe holo kaʻa," wahi a ka hui ma kahi ʻōlelo. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Aircell i kahi ʻōlelo i hoʻouna ʻia ma o Gogo "he palekana e like me nā wahi kikowaena Wi-Fi ākea ma kahi hōkele, kahua mokulele a hale kofe."

He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:

ʻO ka hōʻailona mua i loaʻa iā 1782 ka lawelawe he wahi decal liʻiliʻi ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka puka mokulele me kahi hōʻailona Wi-Fi o ke ʻano i kau pinepine ʻia ma nā hale kūʻai kofe a me nā lobbies hōkele.
Delta, which last year said it would be the first of the major airlines to equip its entire domestic fleet with the service, has Wi-Fi on about 130 aircraft currently and won’t be finished equipping all 500 until late next year.
The Journal had confirmed ahead of time with Delta that the flight that day featured the service, but a regular passenger wouldn’t be able to do the same.
