But I can say that if I'm traveling on business, I'm usually in the air for 3-5 hours each way. I could get a lot done with cell and internet access while in flight. I would choose that airline in advance for that service even if it was slightly more as I could make it back while traveling. Now to make it successfull, they have to make the price a good value. If they do that, they will make way more than their predictions. I hope that they don't “add” it to the bill whether I use it or not.

I know I would heavily lean towards using airlines that offer such a service. I might not use it all that much (or I might use it a ton depending on how cheap/expensive it is), but just the ability to use it when I need to would have me booking with those airlines.
