As I was waiting for my connection in Atlanta to Kansas City, a woman approached me with a card, querying me, "would you like to try our free wireless on our flight today?"My stomach turned, my lower back knotted up, five to six gray hairs instantly popped out on my head. What? I thought. Really? Internet access on a plane? The death knell has come to the last place where phones, email and internet have thus far failed to reach.
"Sure, why not," I replied, noting that direct marketing, which involves politely offering free stuff, goes a long way.
Once at 20,000+ feet (as opposed to the normal consultant "30,000 foot view"), I turned on my laptop and logged in. It was kind of nice, getting a few things out that needed to be done and then turning it off and escaping back to the old days. Having a choice though was a bonus.
