You should have stuck to AA, their 77Ws have wifi and it works pretty well most of the time. I even got a pro-active refund on the cost a couple of days after the one recent occasion when it wasn't working well during part of the flight.
If your inflight addiction is wine, fly BA. If it's Facebook, fly AA.

It remains to be seen what that means for end user pricing: Gogo are running an introductory offer of $9.95 per flight on Delta's long haul 2Ku-equipped aircraft at the moment, but it may well go back to the $20-$40 per flight that Gogo's US domestic Air-To-Ground solution costs, depending on what is optimal for Gogo's profits. The upper end of that range would be significantly more than the cost of the Panasonic connectivity solution on AA.

Yes, they are building some sort of add on to the BA App, so that you can watch some content streamed through that. So on shorthaul there may be a few television programmes, and perhaps the news available. Also the moving map, which for LGW and LCY travellers is good news. If I was to take a guess, maybe the option of premium content, such as recent movies or sports events for a fee. This is already the system they have on IB Express (somewhat clunkily) and on many Asian airlines.
