All US flights to have email in 2004, executive says

Email service will be available on all domestic flights in North America before the end of next year, although services elsewhere in the world will take two to three years to become widespread, according to the chief executive officer of Tenzing Communications, which provides technology and services for in-flight messaging.
United Air Linesannounced a deal with Tenzing last week to provide email on about 400 of its North American domestic flights by the end of this year. The service piggybacks on United's JetConnect service, offered with Verizon Communications and is priced at $US15.98 for up to 2KB of data, and $0.10 for each additional kilobyte.
