There was lots of wailing and gnashing of teeth lately when Boeing announced the discontinuation of its Connexion in-flight broadband service but if the OnAir service to which Ryanair has signed up eventually supports 3G* then I'll be able to use my Vodafone datacard, with flat-rate plan to the same effect as the axed Boeing option. Sure it's going to be a rip-off and sure it will also mean having to put up with fellow passengers yakking on incessantly but hey, you can't have it everyway!
* According to the OnAir FAQ "3G phones will revert to their 2.5G functionality (GSM and GPRS) when connected to the OnAir mobile service. Any 3G phone that does not support 2.5/2G GSM/GPRS functionality will not be able to access the service." But surely they'll be supporting 3G before long..........??
