Counting down the minutes, or hours, until your flight lands so you can get work done? Count no more if you’re taking a Qantas flight.

Qantas has announced that by August 2008 its new Airbus A380’s will feature satellite based internet access. There has been no pricing structure set for the service as of yet, but you can bet that many passengers will greatly appreciate this new service. It might even make up for the lousy food, and annoying delays. Look out for ethernet and USB hubs for recharging as well.
