Several months ago, Skymark Airlines went one step beyond other airlines with their miniskirted flight attendants. And now, it seems like they are going to do one better than Japanese major airlines such as ANA and JAL regarding in-flight Wi-Fi.
Next month, Skymark will begin a free in-flight Wi-Fi service called SKYMARK FREE Wi-Fi for their domestic flights. While JAL is starting an expensive 400 yen per 30 minutes Wi-Fi access service and ANA hasn't even released any official plan, Skymark Airlines will start offering it in the cabin of their Airbus A330 on August 7.
Although currently only one of their Airbus A330-300 airplanes supports SKYMARK FREE Wi-Fi at this moment, they will continue adding it to be able to offer the service in all of their A330 airplanes.

Talk about retro-skies. Get real JAL, not to mention ANA!

While it's a great start, it really won't be much use to the masses until it's in their 737-800s as well - after all, they make up the vast majority of the fleet. Until then I'll stick with Solaseed Air - an LCC but ANA-quality service, free coffee, and best of all, few announcements (Skymark has them in 4 languages - is that really necessary!?)

wi-fi is always necessary.
