See, thats the thing. T mobile has an agreement with Gogo, and has little to do with what AS signed with Gogo. AS pays nothing for those people connecting wifi via T mobile agreement. If AS paid for everyone connecting wifi, I think it would be cost prohibitive under the current agreement, i think. (just guessing of course)

If everyone had T mobile, we’d be able test how gogo wifi connectivity might be… I somehow dont trust gogo but who knows…..
