Default Mundane question about Delta Wifi

APC is listing that all Delta mainline fleet is equiped with wifi, however, I don't believe that to be true, so wondering if someone can confirm that for me, purely to satisfy my own burning curiousity. I was just on a DL 767ER twice within the last 2 weeks and never heard any announcement about wifi. They were int'l flights tho, so not sure if they activate the wifi on long-haul flights.... Thanks.

The wifi will be changing from ground based to satellite based so that it wil be available internationally too.

There's a picture of "wifi" coverage in Sky Magazine - as others have pointed out, it's just domestic. Besides, who wants to get yelled at for looking at internet u-boob while surfing APC across the pond!

Could have sworn it was going international. Guess I was wrong.

Doesn't work over the Pacific on the way to/from Hawaii either. It was available for the portion of the flight over the CONUS.
