I agree that it's a good call by FCC, but I also believe that it's only a temporary fix.
Boeing pulled out of their internet Connexion business. Few of the major international airlines were offering this service already. It appears to be dead at the moment, but as we all know, somebody will step up to the plate and offer this service once again, as soon as the technology gets less expensive. It may be a year or 2 but it will be back.
As soon as this happens, the talking begins. VoIP services, such as Skype, will be utilized by the flyers.
