UA will apparently have nine of these no DTV, Ka band aircraft once they've finished the retrofit.
Correct, but the dTV contract covers the WiFi connection on those specific 9 units, even after the dTV has been removed. I agree it makes no sense, but is apparently true.

Edit to Clarify: CO contract with dTV was not for just directTV, but for all onboard entertainment, which is why the 737s and these 753s have a different WiFi provider in the first place.
