Amtrak, Why No Wi-Fi?

Seems astounding that Amtrak's busy, high-end Acela trains don't offer wireless Internet. Seems like a big duh.

I regularly take Acela between Washington DC and New York, and thankfully I bring along my Sprint mobile broadband card so I can be connected and working the entire way. Still, it's a train jammed with working professionals. Wi-Fi can't be that hard to do. Trains in Japan have it. Baffling.
