Traveling cross country involves many hardships. Now, being offline is not one of them. If the pioneers had WiFi they would have been more productive. If they knew how to use a Mac.
For about $7.95 for the day, I can hook up to some wifi provider while on a plane, getting access to all my cloud based documents, email, twitter and all that. Certainly, this is a good thing for those who spend a day or two per week flying, so they can keep going, keep managing or being included. Or, if you are an independent like me, you can push worktime to overlap with travel time, preserving that precious home time at the end of the journey. Nothing like getting home, job done.
So, is the cost worth it to me? Not really. I can usually manage to find ways to occupy myself on flights that is either blissful escape, or thoughtful prep for when I get back on the ground and interaction. And of course, when I pay, it comes out of my pocket!
