There's a rumor that US is looking at streaming IFE systems, such as the GoGo system AA is putting on their planes. With the prevalence of laptops, netbooks, tablets, smart phones, whatever is coming next, having a wired screen and audio at every seat is becoming un-necessary for a significant portion of travelers. Eliminating everything by having on-board wi-fi makes such systems less costly to install and haul around.
I suspect the decision will be based on the same thinking as the current system in the 321's - does it produce enough revenue to offset the cost?
