@JamesN "I personally don't make use of luggage, yet it's a standard airline amenity. Also so are non-alcoholic drinks, safety equipment, and bathroom supplies. Not everyone uses them, yet, they are all built into the cost of a ticket."
I think we'd have to consider checking luggage, non-alcoholic drinks, bathroom supplies, and safety equipment as “basic” amenities that virtually all passengers might need at one time or other whereas having a WiFi connection is not. I certainly have no problem if airlines have built in the cost of "basic" amenities (particularly the safety equipment) into the cost of a ticket. I'd hate to have to take the time to pull out my Visa card should the need arise to make use of the floatation device or oxygen mask!

Come on, folks- what more do you want? No charge for luggage, great fares . . . I truly doubt everyone will want to make use of a WiFi connection, so why should those who don't need it or want it be expected to help pay for those of us who will choose to use it? Keep the cost reasonable, and I'm sure those of us who wish to use it will have no problem paying for it.
