All very true I'm sure. But it is interesting how the amount of work & time needed to change & harmonize the laws between all the major regulatory authorities for a profit-making service such as GoGo was magically justifiable and evidently quite wrokable as well. (And let's not forget that prior to GoGo there was Connexion from Boeing ...)
