My airline of choice doesn't have any publicly released plans to upgrade their fleet like that, they are still using Boingo or whatever it's called. They still have their "no voice or video calls" over wifi rule and I hope they stick to that even if they go the way of United and Qatar and Starenshittify their fleet. It's nice to have the technology break that the small amount of friction of having to join the in-flight wifi has for a few hours when I travel by air.

No voice or video is an FAA rule. Lobbied for by industry workers. And also in legislation.
