Found some interesting news on one of the Australia news websites.

Regards, Steven. Simple. Grab it from where it hits the base stations. One of the two big in-flight Wifi carriers in the US uses Sprint towers, I believe the other used satellite.
They have to get back to a ground station somewhere in order to get network access. Easy to tap it there and send it wherever you want. Grabbing an ad-hoc signal between two endpoints in the air is probably significantly more involved. Implementation of this is left as an exercise for the VERY well-funded reader. ;-) Jeremy "TheBrez" Bresley brez@brezworks.com
