Google is reportedly in talks with the Finnish telecom giant Nokia in order to acquire Nokia's aeroplane broadband business. As per some sources from the web, the negotiation between both the companies are said to be on advanced stage and they can soon enter into an agreement. The acquisition is further said to help Google with air WiFi solutions which are faster than what the companies like Gogo offer at the moment.
