T-Mobile & Viasat WiFi Partnership Soon?

Does anyone know if T-Mobile and Viasat inflight Wi-fi are coming up with a partnership anytime soon? A lot of airlines, particularly the world's largest airline...American has been moving away from Gogo and switching to Viasat. The T-Mobile free wifi deal is pretty much worthless now since you can't use it on any Viasat equipped aircraft.

    Hey, @bstores​!

    We haven't heard anything about adding another WiFi partner to airlines as of yet. I usually fly Alaskan Airlines and boy do I depend on the GoGo in-flight connection so I understand where you're coming from. If we were to add another partner, we would likely announce it here first.

    This is puzzling, I recently traveled on Jan 29th 2019, and through the American Airlines app there was a T-Mobile account sign in for free WiFi, I had it from San Antonio to Bradley in Connecticut multiplevhour trip. Fast forward to today March 10th 2029 the link doesn't exist anymore? What's going on?
