And don't forget that some people use their time inflight to unplug and disconnect. (I know that I do......and my "out of office" auto-reply works wonders. )

I don't mind so much that CO has decided to be a (potential) follower and not a leader in the inflight wifi frontier. I would rather see them sit on the sidelines and wait for the set prices to come down, or a service which allows for them to set their own pricing. CO has invested heavily in IFE, and wifi would cannibalize some of that revenue. In the meantime, I will be enjoying the kind of relaxation which can only be achieved when you are not constantly being "pinged" by people who urgently need things from you.
