Engadget reports that WiFi in the air is coming back - the latest is American Airlines' announcement:

For its system, American Airlines is relying on the expertise of AirCell, which is promising to get things up and running on at least some flights sometime next year. Initially, the in-flight WiFi will only be offered on American Airlines' fleet of Boeing 767-200 aircraft, which primarily fly transcontinental routes.

While I understand that doing this in US airspace is probably simpler, transatlantic and transpacific would be far more useful.
