    Oh no...
    Just imagine businessmen tapping away in Business class or having VOIP conference calls on Skype!
    Imagine unruly teens blasting their music
    Imagine people watching adult stuff without a care for fellow younger passengers

    And, don't forget terrorism!

    well if it's like the crap they have on trains it goes through so many levels of pay wall and filters that they'll be able to stop you looking at dodgy stuff (that is on their blacklist anyway. It usually includes proxy bans too.) The bigger issue is the loss of quiet. And also just time to switch off. FFS i hate the expectation that staff can be reached wherever whenever.
