The biggest obstacles to success for a service of this type are a)
high cost and b) the lack of AC power throughout most commercial
airliners. Some folks are willing to put up with a), but not for
just a couple of hours due to b).
Until AC power is prevalent throughout the cabins of commercial
airliners, it's unclear whether such a service will attract
sufficient subscribers to become economically viable, IMHO.
