So, I know there's been a slew of delays (we're coming up on two years). What I think bugs me most is that you'd think they could open something up to folks on the "old" system that wasn't stupidly expensive. Or, as I hinted, slash the price of the pass since a lot of folks might only be on one or two legs per month that have for-pay wifi - knocking that back to $14.95/month would make it a proposition I'd consider - or just include a flight pass with some level of Medallion status (or the credit cards) while slapping a no-streaming limit in there.
