As of now, American Airlines is offering a paid internet service on NYC to MIA, LAX and SFO flights on their Boeing 767-200 flights . It's through an outfit called GoGo and costs $12.95 cross-country, $9.95 on 3 hours or fewer flights. The downside is that all VoIP calling (Skype, etc.) is banned and blocked.
Delta and Virgin Air will be offering this service by year's end. This info extracted from the following link:

Having tried the link, it seems you need a free registration to access it. Oh well.

Anyway, as stated in a previous link, this will over time make Flight Attendant's jobs tougher because as sure as dammit, somebody will come up with a workaround, enabling the Type-A personalities to scream on the Skype phone. Then the FA's gotta play cop.
