The U.S. airline and European plane maker have teamed up with Sprint’s satellite startup OneWeb to deliver 5G internet as you streak across the friendly skies, reports Reuters. The consortium will be known as the “Seamless Air Alliance,” and will enable mobile providers to deliver their 5G services to customers via satellites. There’s no word yet on when the in-flight 5G will roll out to customers, but Sprint has said it will launch its land-based 5G network later this year.
