Just wondering this, myself. I travel fairly frequently between US and Europe, and Lufthansa was recently my choice, exclusively because of this service. Perhaps with the interdiction of computing devices on board (have not travelled since the UK incident, so I am not sure if the new rules of flying naked affect all flights?!?) there won't - obviously - be much of a need for an Internet connection ...
The main issue, from what I read, is that too few airlines followed suit. In particular, most American airlines were far too strapped financially to invest in the necessary equipment. --Steven M. Bellovin, http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~smb
