The World Wide Web

Listen to what I just found out - Virgin America now offers internet for all passengers on all flights (starting Memorial Day). I had heard before there was a plane doing this for over seas flights, but I wasn't sure which one. And, I'd heard that the problem with not having it was never with the technology, but rather with the actual internet and cell phone companies arguing over service issues and such. I can't remember who told me all of this, but I think it might have been a doctor during one of my chats at the bar during one of the last meetings. He also told me that our cell phones will work up there now, but that if you use them you will receive a huge, huge fine for the afore mentioned reason.

Now where did I hear the Virgin America news - Oprah of course. Her whole show today is skyping people in random places. My question here is how much money is Skype paying Oprah for all this product placement or is she just doing it free b/c she loves them now or something? And, I wonder if Virgin was free or if that was a product placement?
