Air Canada Goes GoGo

Aircell has snagged our neighbor (neighbour?) to the north, adding Air Canada to its signed-up airlines for in-flight broadband: Aircell will bring Gogo Internet to Air Canada starting in spring 2009 for trans-border flights using its existing U.S. air-to-ground network. Aircell told me some time ago that they ultimately expected approval from Canada, Mexico, and Caribbean authorities to use the same frequencies as they purchased in the U.S. for air-to-ground broadband; the same had been true for AirFone and other defunct in-flight call providers. The first planes covered will be Airbus A319s.
