emphasis mine
Seriously.. it would cost
maybe a couple hundred bucks a year to throw in WIFI internet into a lounge. Heck, if you can get WIFI in the streets of India for free you should be able to get internet at an American airport, just MHO.
If UA is not getting a cut of the revenue that T-Mobile is getting then this is absolutely rediculous. If the model has T-Mobile coming in to operate and set up the service without a cut going to UA then UA is a bunch of ninnies and it reeks of graft at the highest levels.
