Boeing is installing it so you'd be stupid not to order the planes with it in if you were an airline, would only be above the US to start with, they'd build in the capacity to go fast but they'd throttle it depending on the airline prob. It says it uses satellites but it's pretty hard to keep up with a satellite when you're moving 1000kph. might be unrealiable at first, then there's the data send issue, it's going to cost at first me thinks, but then think about the amount of people that use in flight phones inside the US on short flights, apparently its a hundred $$ a year business. Not bad residual income if you're boeing and you get to be the ISP :o)
