Looks like soon airline passengers in Sub-Saharan Africa will be able to surf the net, send emails and download videos of ummm… work stuff. Yup, that’s it: work stuff nudge nudge wink wink.

An article posted today on Mybroadband.co.za stated that WirelessG is currently looking into it. Check it:

Sub-Saharan Africans will soon be able to connect to the Internet anywhere they are – even while on a domestic or long-haul flight – thanks to a new technology announcement from WirelessG.

While the technology that will enable in-flight Internet services is depending on Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) approval, it will be provided through an exclusive agreement with US-based Row 44 who is already successfully offering in-flight Wi-Fi Internet to Southwest Airlines, Alaska Airlines and in 2010, through Norwegian Air Shuttle.

How cool will that be?

Obviously it’s not without its cons. Whilst you can kill some serious time reading up on whatever takes your fancy, brag on Facebook about your imminent climbing of Mount Kilimanjaro, and of course check out the latest posts on the world’s best site ever (ever ever ever times infinity): Stu’s take on…, it does of course mean that between this and the proliferation of cellphones your boss is now truly able to get hold of you absolutely everywhere.

How’s them apples?
