Live blogging from Virgin's Gogo launch flight (and a scoop)

Hello there RWG readers,

Virgin America has just launched its in-flight connectivity service, Gogo, I'm writing this blog from 30,000ft. The aircraft is packed with journalists and we're all putting Gogo through it's paces. Suffice it to say that speed is just what Aircell promised - as fast as on the ground. I linked up to VPN with no bother. Watching some YouTube video is proving a bit sticky. No surprise there.
