Europe gave the thumbs up for mobile usage on planes, after Emirates, Continental Airlines and Qantas decided to introduce the service. Now, it seems, New Zealand is next in line.
According to the New Zealand Herald, the Kiwi’s national carrier is planning to introduce an in-flight texting service.
Meanwhile, several reports have highlighted that despite European and antipodean enthusiasm for in-flight SMS, Asia and the US aren’t planning to introduce any mile-high connectivity any time soon. I can’t help but think it’s a bit of a miss opportunity - surely long haul flights are where the boredom sets in and the texting fingers start getting itchy?
