According to Henry Harteveldt, an industry analyst at Forrester Research who recently issued a report on the subject, the answer is that we’re about to see a sea change that will likely bring Internet on board most major U.S. carriers.

That’s the good news.

The bad news is that it’s not going to happen overnight. “It will probably be two years or so before we see the vast majority of aircraft in the U.S. with this,” Harteveldt said. “But I do expect it will be on just about every airline.”
