Top PC game players from around the world are in New York for the Global Gaming League’s Trans-Atlantic Showdown.
Despite a long flight overseas, European players didn’t lose any practice time.With services from Connexion by Boeing, many players were able to use the Internet to make phone calls and get in a few extra practice games before the start of the tourney.
That will all be coming to all of us very soon -- mobile phone calls and web access from planes; that will be time very well spent (as long as you don't have a chatterbox sitting next to you -- bad enough on the train! but image a six-hour flight; painful enough just to think about it.)
