Google Sponsoring Free Wi-Fi on Planes This Holiday Season

Getting to access the internet while on an airplane is generally reserved for those with extra cash to blow. It's not cheap, especially when added to all of the other fees airlines charge these days. Google, however, is giving it away for free this holiday season in order to promote their Chrome browser.

Google announced that it will sponsor free Wi-Fi on Virgin America, Delta and AirTran to end the dark ages when "flying home for the holidays meant disconnecting for several hours until you touched down at your destination."
