From about 3.30, he talks about mobile phones and sets up a typically acerbic observation about wi-fi on planes and the sense of entitlement that some people have about it.

For the sake of humankind, we certainly hope not.
Whether you lose your temper at every network drop-out at 35,000ft OR are still in wide-eyed wonder that we can have this service at all, wifi in the sky is soon to become a much more common experience, thanks in part to the satellite that Panasonic launched in June.
