"For the comfort of all passengers, Airlines have requested that Aircell not allow the use of VoIP services on the Gogo System. Text IM will be allowed. Aircell is shaping their WiFi system to disable / render unusable the Voip components ( without disabling IM) of services such as Skype on the Gogo network. A passenger announcement before the Gogo service is turned on will inform passengers that VoIP is not allowed. Aircell believes that good will and human decency will prevail, when using Gogo." Straight from the horse’s mouth.

Port blocking? Can I assume the same policy will block access for IM clients such as Yahoo! Mesenger and iChat? Thank you! Peter Ha,

I’ve heard ideas of having access to mail, and a few other websites but blocking access to high-bandwidth sites, such as YouTube, Hulu, etc. They could also cache some common websites in an on-board server and offer it without worrying about bandwidth.

There's also the possibility that they'd miss out on revenue from in-flight cell phone usage (if it ever happens). It might stay banned in the States, but Europe looks like they'll allow cell phone calls in-flight. @Peter Ha - sounds like you know more about it than us, can you explain the situation? @John – Good point, but then what would be the reason – security?
