Allowing WiFi will eventually allow VoIP users to make calls which will be the same as allowing cell calls. Flying is already a painful process but allowing cell/VoIP calls will be the final straw making flying unbearable. Since there won't be an effective way to block VoIP calls, the smart airlines will either not implement WiFi, or provide an area where callers can go and not disturb other passengers. Since the latter would likely mean removing seats to accomodate this, the chances are slim to none. Time to find another means of long distance travel.....

Can't be cheap to wire the planes for wifi and less than 1% of passangers will use it with this configuration. That’s dumb.

Well I don't know how this helps the cost of putting internet in the sky except of sponsors paying for it all. However after 5 minutes of being online, you're done, that is if you have Yahoo mail. Wouldn't it be better to have you system used by lots of people for most of their flight than by 3 people for 5% of the flight? Nice try?
