Southwest Airlines yesterday formally launched commercial trials of Row 44's in-flight connectivity system, which is a big deal, as I mentioned in yesterday's blog. However, the carrier had already been putting the system through its paces for weeks (as readers of this blog are well aware). Now a Twitter buddy of mine has directed me to the physical evidence. Check out the 26 January video posted to YouTube by Southwest. I wonder if this too will find its way into FCC filings.
