联邦通信委员会对于智能手机用户来说还是非常“宽宏大量”的，说不定飞机上也能上无线网的梦想成为现实只是时间早晚的问题，只要运营商们开始设计专门适合空中飞行的网络服务即可。据Re/code报道，美国电信运营商AT&T希望能在35，000英尺的高度为您带来4G/LTE的无线网络。

 

Re/code的相关报道只是寥寥数语，但却引用了两位AT&T公司的高管的话，证实AT&T公司目前正在研发一款飞行产品，能在4G/LTE标准下工作。目前还不知道这个无线网络在高空中怎么实现，但其实这种在空中实现网络连接的想法并非一天两天的新主意了。飞行无线网供应商GoGo就是先例，如果AT&T实现这项服务，它将与GoGo展开“对决”。空中无线网覆盖目前在世界一些监管比较松的地方已经成为现实了。

 

如果能在飞行过程中使用现有数据套餐，这对长期在旅途中的人来说是天赐的礼物，不过如果AT&T最后提供的无线服务跟GoGo一样昂贵的话，那就另说了。

 

AT&T Plans to Bring You LTE on Airplanes

 

With the FCC blessing the use of smartphones— their wireless plans—on planes, perhaps it was only a matter of time until carriers started designing services tailored for the skies. Re/code reports that AT&T wants to bring you 4G/LTE connectivity at 35,000 feet.

 

While Re/code's report is thin on details, it does contain official quotes from two AT&T executives who confirm that the company is developing an in-flight product that works on 4G/LTE spectrum standards. We don't know how the heck that's supposed to work, but connectivity in the skies is hardly a new idea. The service would pit AT&T against in-flight Wi-Fi providers like GoGo. In-flight wireless coverage is already a reality in parts of the world with more relaxed regulatory structures.

 

Being able to use your existing data plan on planes would be a godsend for frequent travelers—unless of course it ends up being just as expensive as GoGo was anyways. [Re/code]
