Nope, not likely. As I understand it, Delta had been persuing this with the new wifi provider for a few years now as they promised ample service for all connection inflight. Meanwhile DL's gogoinflight agreements are still intact but ending, which is why they haven't made the full switch as of yet (January 2023). For Alaska, AS has renewed agreement with gogoinflight for a satellite coverage, but still limited to gogo wifi. Other people probably know more about gogowifi and limitation it carries but as far as Im concerned, I don't think gogo can handle every connectivity, nor AS has funds allocated to pay for free wifi for all.
