Wireless will eventually will pay for itself (better ROI) and is easier to install (less downtime for planes). I'm not positive on this, but I would imagine that installing the gear for at-seat outlets would be quite intensive, not fun, and (from what I hear) add quite a bit of weight to the plane. Outside of American, and the odd CO/DL flight that is continuing over water, have people actually had luck finding planes with power?
