They've said long-term, the plan is free wifi everywhere. And shorter term, the plan is free on "regional" flights. I just don't know if "regional" means Jazz, or "not over an ocean".
As of September, their presentation included:
Free Messaging + Partner was already done when this presentation was given. Flying Lab is the external cameras and some other stuff, which is clearly happening. So it's really what they mean by "Regional Full Fast Free". If they're doing that on the updated 32x, then it sounds more like "North America" rather than what we traditionally call "regional".
But we're going to hit a point where the wifi select benefit stops being worth anything.
