¡Hola, @bstores!
We haven't heard anything about adding another WiFi partner to airlines as of yet. I usually fly Alaskan Airlines and boy do I depend on the GoGo in-flight connection so I understand where you're coming from. If we were to add another partner, we would likely announce it aquí primero.
T-Mobile offers free wifi on gogo equipped flights. This is not the same as free wifi on Delta.
Delta is shifting to Viasat which has a technically superior service over gogo, with the end goal being free wifi for everyone on all flights. Until the majority of their planes are equipped with viasat they will charge $5 per flight for access, to avoid an inconsistent experience for all Delta passengers. Delta has no obligation to TMobile users.
Nobody has broken a deal, as TMobile users, we still get free wifi on all gogo equipped flights.
I don’t fly AA, so I can’t speak as to what they are planning.
