I would purchase it but of course it would depend on the price. For me, anything over $20 would be too expensive since I would be using it mainly for leisure and not for work reasons. My flights are also not that long (6 hours) and paying $20 for 6 hours of internet for me seems a bit high priced when my home subscription is roughly 2.5x that amount and I get 1 month's usage or the hotels that I normally stay at charge slightly under $20 per day (or give it for free).<br /> </p> I like the idea of having access to the internet while flying.

Internet is part of todays life for everyone and it would be awesome if a person could update his status whereever he/she is. </p> <p>Another advantage which is second to none would be that if (GOD FORBIDS) there is any danger situation on-board like recent french plan crash, we won't be looking as such for BLACK BOX, someone might have send clue or story to people at ground. This might sounds odds but be realistic and think about reality as things happen and we need to have strong judgemental calls towards decision making. </p> Yes, I think Skysurf is a good idea and specially works for longer flight like from Western countries to Asia or somewhere.

It already exists on many Middle East airlines like Emirates and am sure on some other Gulf (not Gulf Air but Gulf countries) airlines. I do not know whey Canada is very late to enter this technology. </p> Wrong again to think it is new IN THE WORLD.

But if the company was paying for it, yeah, why the hell not? If you can't figure out a work-life balance, that's another issue. But for those who would like to get a little extra work done or just goof off, I don't see it being a problem. Just try to keep the skyping to a minimum.</p> Personally, I don't need it but I'm pretty cheap and can deal with the inflight movie. But if the company was paying for it, yeah, why the hell not?
