In-Flight Wi-Fi Brings Wi-Fi TV Internet TV Stations To Airline Passengers
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- Aug. 26, 2008 Wi-Fi TV Inc. (Pink Sheets:WIFT), http://www.Wi-FiTV.com, announced today that it is bringing Wi-Fi TV's over 500 Internet TV stations, including an increasing number of proprietary stations, to a new viewing frontier. Thanks to the advent of in-flight Wi-Fi, for the first time Internet TV will be viewable on an increasing number of air flights. Wi-Fi TV expects a global boom in in-flight Wi-Fi coverage over the next year resulting in a new viewing venue for http://www.Wi-FiTV.com.

Immediately, Wi-Fi TV offers more live TV stations with live chat than any domestic airline carrier offers by any other delivery method, such as satellite. Recently announced access for Wi-Fi (which makes the viewing of Wi-Fi TV and all other Internet sites possible while on an air flight) includes:

American Airlines passengers will now have Wi-Fi access on some flights. The airline said it has launched its in-flight Internet access service via Wi-Fi on 15 of its 767-200 airplanes. The service, called Gogo, will be offered on nonstop flights between New York and San Francisco, New York and Los Angeles, and New York and Miami. The cost is $12.95 per flight. Passengers will be able to sign up when they boot up their browsers. The airline will be restricting the use of voice over IP services, such as Skype, and it will still restrict the use of cell phones in flight.

Gogo is a service offered by Aircell, which is also providing Wi-Fi access to Delta Air Lines planes. Earlier this month, Delta said it was outfitting all of its domestic feet with Wi-Fi by the middle of next year. Virgin America, which is also using Aircell's Gogo service, will launch its service by the end of the year, the company has said.

And JetBlue Airways is testing its Wi-Fi access on routes between San Francisco and New York. Southwest Airlines and Alaska Airlines are also testing in-flight Wi-Fi. And others such as United Airlines are considering offering Wi-Fi, but it hasn't announced tests or a commercial launch.

Aircell's pricing is uniform across all the airlines that use it. The company charges $9.95 for flights of three hours or less. And it's $12.95 for all flights over three hours. Initially, American Airlines will only be offering Wi-Fi on coast-to-coast flights.

This Thursday, August 28, Wi-Fi TV will host a free sales opportunity conference call at 4:30 PM Pacific time, 7:30 PM Eastern time at 218-486-1300, bridge #715719. There are industry leading instant commissions for direct sales of Wi-Fi TV stations which start at a highly affordable $2,000.
