Passenger Stuck with $1,171 Wi-Fi Bill on Singapore Airlines Flight
A Canadian man who racked up a $1,171 Wi-Fi bill on a recent Singapore Airlines flight says it’s official: He has to pony up and pay the full amount. Jeremy Gutsche, chief executive of Toronto-based innovation consultancy Trend Hunter, says he unwittingly accrued the charges on a flight last week from London to Singapore. (blogs.wsj.com) Mehr...

To quote from the story: "Just because someone agrees to terms and conditions doesn’t mean those terms are ethical,” Gutsche said, when asked about that criticism. “I think the overage model is excessive and I can imagine someone like my mom, or a family, or a backpacker going aimlessly over.”
There is, or at least used to be a thing known as personal responsibility. There is no free ride. Get over it.

It is amazing how people don't want to be responsible. He had a gauge to see how much he was using at all times. I have no idea why any paper picked up this story other than to let him whine about his error.
