Gogo instilation costs

I am wondering how much it costs an airline to install gogo on an aircraft. Is it usually an overnight instillation?

I'd imagine GOGO is paying the airlines for the installs. Time wise I'd imagine its overnight (a few hours).

That makes sense, Gogo probably has to pay the airline some fee or percentage of their revenue.

Some of the costs quoted in stories about it are

Entertainment systems with a screen for every passenger can cost as much as $500,000 to install per plane. An Aircell unit that enables Gogo Vision weighs less than 100 pounds, costs between $10,000 and $20,000 and can be installed overnight, Steenstrup reports.

and

What is the cost of installation?

The approximate cost is $100,000 per aircraft. Airlines recoup this expense through revenue sharing with Aircell. Most private jet operators offer the service to ensure repeat business but do not share in the revenues.
