旅途太無聊 愛爾蘭飛機考慮提供遊戲和色情片

瑞安航空首席執行官邁克爾·奧萊利正在考慮開發一整套應用程序，以便讓搭乘瑞安航空的乘客可以在旅途中玩遊戲、看電影、賭博甚至觀看色情電影。

根據太陽報的報道，邁克爾·奧萊利稱希望推出飛行中的web服務，酷似酒店提供的付費電視，用戶可以像在酒店一樣付費使用其中的各種功能。在整套系統推出之前，他們會選取一些指定的客戶體驗，並且根據他們的使用情況進行調整。

“這個設備不會被放置在座位後面的屏幕位置，而是採用手持設備”，邁克爾·奧萊利說，“既然全世界的酒店都可以提供這種服務，爲什麼我們不可以？”

該計劃可能要在一年多後實施，因爲地面上和飛行途中的寬帶成本相差非常大，但儘管這一市場充滿前景，也有一些阻礙的因素，比如乘客可以使用自己的手機、筆記本電腦、MP3播放器、書籍、雜誌等打發時間，對這一服務的需求可能並不是很大。

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.
