AirCell, provider of wireless data and voice communications provider in business aviation, recently announced it is teaming with American Airlines to test broadband services with passengers across the U.S. beginning in 2008. AirCell’s new Broadband Internet service will allow business and leisure passengers to check e-mail, surf the Web, tap into an office network and stay current on the latest news, using their own Wi-Fi enabled laptops, PDAs, iPhones, BlackBerrys and portable gaming systems - while in flight.
