旅途太无聊 爱尔兰飞机考虑提供游戏和色情片

瑞安航空首席执行官迈克尔·奥莱利正在考虑开发一整套应用程序，以便让搭乘瑞安航空的乘客可以在旅途中玩游戏、看电影、赌博甚至观看色情电影。

根据太阳报的报道，迈克尔·奥莱利称希望推出飞行中的web服务，酷似酒店提供的付费电视，用户可以像在酒店一样付费使用其中的各种功能。在整套系统推出之前，他们会选取一些指定的客户体验，并且根据他们的使用情况进行调整。

“这个设备不会被放置在座位后面的屏幕位置，而是采用手持设备”，迈克尔·奥莱利说，“既然全世界的酒店都可以提供这种服务，为什么我们不可以？”

该计划可能要在一年多后实施，因为地面上和飞行途中的宽带成本相差非常大，但尽管这一市场充满前景，也有一些阻碍的因素，比如乘客可以使用自己的手机、笔记本电脑、MP3播放器、书籍、杂志等打发时间，对这一服务的需求可能并不是很大。

Ryanair chief executive Michael O'Leary is contemplating the development of apps that would allow passengers to play games, watch movies, gamble or even watch porn while they fly.

Speaking to the Sun newspaper, O'Leary, who is known for suggesting whacky ways to make money from his airline, said that he hopes to launch an in-flight web service that mimics the pay-TV services offered in hotels. O'Leary specified that customers would be using their own mobile devices, such as smartphones or tablets, for viewing or engaging with these services, which would offer views movies, games, gambling apps and even porn.

"I'm not talking about having it on screens on the back of seats for everyone to see. It would be on handheld devices," he said. "Hotels around the world have it, so why wouldn't we?"

The plan could take more than a year to get off the ground because of the costs associated with getting its planes broadband-ready. However, this is not the first time the topic of porn on planes has come up. Back in 2008, flight attendants voiced their concerns over the growing trend of in-flight WiFi. The worry was that with internet access, passengers might watch adult content to pass the time while they fly. That said, considering the fact that people can bring their phones, laptops, MP3 players and as many books and magazines as they like on board, it seems silly to think anyone desperate enough to want to look at porn during their flight would use the in-flight WiFi to do so. They could just as easily bring a DVD and laptop on board and watch for free.
