I just read on a.net that SAS will also have the system free. It makes sense, since it under the "connexion" business plan, boeing got the proceeds from the use. Boeing paid for the installation and for the system. It also paid for extra fuel the a/c was burnng because of the two humps (antennas) on the plane. LY mostly benefitted from offering the system to its customers.

LY has not made decison if it will continue the service, it looks like Panasonic has an answer for any airline still interested in offering interent onboard.
