What are the main reasons to stop those services. Do they interrupt too much or are they too expensive or why exactly ? I can't imagine we're not all sitting happily online up in the air in let's say 5 years ?

Wow, that buffles me. I can't imagine anyone who has a chance to be online (and is provided with a power plug), not to choose to use it on long flights ??? Well, I'm degraded to economy due to company policies, guess that will take a while before we're all online in economy. But not even bizz class did make use of it ?

that blows, I have a 17 hour flight ahead on thai business class, in-flight internet would have at least carved 3-5 hours....I like the power outlet though I might bring my laptop on board and play some long drawn out strategy game like Civilization or Sim City.

I think some of us less well off travellers baulked a bit at the price. It was aimed at business users, but was pretty dear IIRC

Okay, but there still are those phones installed which passengers could use to call around. I just took a look at them, never used them. They are pretty dear as well but still available. So I guess it must have to do something with operational costs to provide that online service. We are at early stages with this technololgy and I believe it will only be a matter of time until competition will make it available to all of us. Thanks god for competition...

Around 25-30USD on a 12 hour flight. Of course most people laptop batteries don't last 12 hours, so you need a charger. In seat power limitted to 75W - not enough for my 17" powerbook. 12 hour flight - I would rather sleep. Next year they are launching mobile phone access on planes, so you will still be able to connect that way.

There you go, only 30 USD for a 12 hour flight. Can't imagine that's really too expensive for the majority of ppl. Indeed, the power outlet is a problem, if they want to make money with this, they need to provide this in economy.

Heaven help people who want some peace and quiet on a plane if mobiles are ringing all the time. What a crappy idea to have that technology on a plane..
