Yeah, Delta has been doing it for about a year on selected flights, and 
over the holidays, Google sponsored it (so it was free).

Interestingly, they seem to block wifi-capable cell phones (my cell 
wouldn't connect to it), but my eReader (based on Android, same as my 
phone) had no problems - so I sent text messages using my Nook (via 
Google Voice) to let people know my flight was delayed but that we were 
finally en route.
