In fact, I don't even think it's a competition. They so clearly do the "worst airline" thing with such pride that it would take years for someone else to catch up.

Good point. Getting nicked on every transfer will _really_ kill the interest for a lot of people, especially since some of those hops will be so short that they aren't worth the surcharge.
Then again, I always pack a couple books, my fully-charged DS, and my fully-charged iPod when flying, so I'm good for entertainment without surfing the internet as well. Especially if I don't have an outlet to plug into.

You know that little box that sits next to your computer that lets it talk to the internet? Yeah, you need one of those. Only it probably has to be able to connect to upwards of 100 computers in a worst-case scenario, it needs to be able to link in to the internet without a hardwired connection, and it needs to be able to fit into some portion of the plane's infrastructure. I'm guessing that's not an off-the-shelf item, so manufacturing costs are going to be very high compared to what they'd be if this was something that Joe Public would be buying for home use. And then they need to be installed.

Customer:
"And what does it mean when you say you have streamlined your tech support? How does that help me?"
Salesperson:
"We haven't streamlined it; we've airlined it. Calls no longer go through India."
