How nice is this? I don’t have any Virgin flights booked this holiday season (yet) but if I did, this is a great perk and a generally nice thing, done by Google. Great marketing, great PR, great image. How much it cost may or may not be nominal, but all the goodwill it will generate among the masses of people (read: internet people) who appreciate wi-fi on an airplane will probs be worth it. GOOG. Quit being so…awesome. You know how there are Apple fanboys and people either love them (being fanpeople themselves) or hate them (to be anti-the MAN or whatever other reason)? Well…I’m a GOOG fangirl, for definitely.
