Hello All,
I would like to urge to include make sure that the internet services
provided by wifi or other maeans such as wifi service available in in-flight
planes, airrports, train stations, public places be made accessible. There
have been instances where I have been unable to signup and access the wifi
in flights in US carriers.
Regards,
Sunish
