It was last week that Aircell announced that they would block VoIP on their in-flight service.  Andy Abramson promptly demonstrated the futility of their actions by using Phweet to conduct a five minute conversation with Laptop Magazine’s editor Joanna Stern.  To find out what happened, and how Phweet works, we turned to Phweet founder Stuart Henshall — our guest this morning.

On this morning’s conference call: Stuart Henshall, David Beckemeyer, Brad Jones, James Swing-r, Dan York, Aswath Rao, Jeb Brilliant, Sheryl Breuker, Andy Abramson, StartupCFO, Bill Volk, Don Thorson, Jeanette Fisher, Michael Graves, and Frank Abrams
