Anyway, one thing the Gogo portal showed is the coverage map which I thought was worth posting here. Interesting that China, India and Australia are completely excluded.

In-flight wi-fi in India is not allowed as per the government. Indian security agencies are not convinced it is safe. Airlines who have wi-fi must turn it off while flying over India.
