Ryanair's €135 for a half hour's web surfing

I've been web-surfing for the past half-hour. I checked the laptop's data log -- I've downloaded 9MB in that 30 minutes. This is purely from surfing from site to site: I haven't actually downloaded anything in particular,

It struck me that, if I were doing this on a Ryanair flight (using its new mobile and data service), this would have cost me up to €135. (The airline charges €10 - €15 per megabyte downloaded on its service.)

In all the scams of recent years, is there any rip-off as great as this?

Yeah there is - it's the proposed toilet charge on Ryanair flights. Now spending a penny will cost you a euro.
