WirelessG announced today that the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has approved WirelessG & Row 44’s application to install its in-flight Wi-Fi enabling equipment on board South African Commercial Aircraft. This will enable WirelessG to operate its G-Connect broadband services aboard commercial aircraft in South African skies. “Although we still await quality assurance of the final installation, the CAA is proud to announce its consent for the use of this technology in South Africa especially as it is a South African company that will exclusively offer the service.” says Subash Devkaran, Senior Manager: Aircraft Certification at CAA.

I’m sure a lot of you cool cats will be traveling with your laptops, and various technological bricabrac, including tablets, smartphones, and what have you.

Feel like delving into a little radio while traveling? Why not.

Feel like catching a little quiality television? No look, sure.

Chicken or beef? No my friends, I’ll have the internet.
