Qantas in-flight email and text messageWe’ve been following Qantas’ in-flight email and SMS text messaging trial for some time now. And, after successful testing during the extended trial period, Qantas has announced that the airline will be rolling out the in-flight messaging service to its fleet of domestic Boeing 767 and Airbus A330 flights.

Starting next year, when you’re traveling down-unda, you won’t be left wanting for a connection to the office/friends/family. Voice communications isn’t going to be part of the initiative. Baby steps, it’s all about baby steps.

Still, in-flight data services would be even better.
