Agreed. A flat fee based on length of flight is more straightforward.

Once it is systemwide, I can see A-List, BS, and maybe even CP holders not being too pleased about having to pay for Wi-Fi.

Ideally, the IE sign-up screen for Wi-Fi should give you the option of entering your RR number, PNR, or credit card.

If you enter your RR or PNR (or maybe even your RR Visa number that's tied to your RR account), then the system should be able to tell if you're A-List/BS/CP and grant you access for free (or if "free" isn't an option, be able to draw funds out of your consolidated TTF balance).
