Singapore Wi-Fi - an expensive way to fly

Although in-flight Internet access has existed for a handful of years now, it's still pretty rare to board a flight and find out that it's offered, and after learning of a recent experience by a Singapore Airlines customer, I'm starting to think that we might be better off without it. Once in the air, Jeremy Gutsche plunked down $28.99 to experience the wonders of in-flight Internet. I doubt it needs to be said, but $29 for a service like this is really high - it's almost as if the charge is $1 for every 1,000 or so feet in the air. Nonetheless, the asinine charges didn't stop there. After deboarding, Jeremy was handed a bill for $1,200. We've all heard this story before - overage is one heck of a drug. So please do not use in-flight Wi-Fi. The Internet will still be around when you land.
