United Airlines and SpaceX's Starlink: High-Speed Wi-Fi Takes Flight

United Airlines and SpaceX's Starlink team up to bring high-speed internet to the skies. A recent test flight from Newark to Chicago showcased the impressive download speeds, though upload speeds lagged. The Verge, a tech reviewer, participated in the test, reporting surprisingly smooth video calls despite airline regulations. United plans to roll out Starlink Wi-Fi across its fleet, starting with regional planes this year. While the service will be free for MileagePlus members, expect increased personalized ads. The Verge commented, "Download speeds were excellent, but I'm more concerned about losing another safe space from email pings and Slack notifications."
