Many domestic flights have no entertainment, food and limited on-board baggage room. They're 1-2 or 2-2 regional jets chugging along with their cattle for 1-2, maybe 3 hours. Given this environment, why do they need a second-order feature such as wifi when they're not providing things like legroom or room for 20" rolly bags? When the business environment changes such that airlines have to be a bit competitive again, you will see wifi appear (it's probably cheaper than entertainment systems). Unfortunately for those who fly, that's not happening in the next few months.
