I think that the problem also revolves around more than just
meeting the regulations.  If a small computer is placed near
a television it certainly does interfere with its reception.
That can be fixed.

The power on an airplane is not very clean I am told.  That is
to say there is a lot of Spiking and all sorts of terrible havoc
in/on the power grid.  Equipment, and especially computers will
have to be able to handle that.

The industry is/will probably be looking seriously at this
innovation in a year or two [a guestimate].  Getting such a
service available is also quite a task. Think of having to
train the (I have to call them) 'flight attendants' to operate
such a monstrosity.  With all the 11 and 14 year old kids on
a given flight, how can a person get some real work done, when
kids are yammering and constantly waiting for you to finish
your text editing.  How much should an airline charge extra
for you to sit at that seat?  $ 5.00 /hr connect + CPU?  Not
that unreasonable.

Take that a step further.  I spent the last two weeks banging
back and forth from New York and Philadelphia on AMTrack [late
as ever].  Why not install Micro Workstations on the MetroLiners?
No noise/navigational problems there (??).
