It's an FAA, FCC, Department of Transportation, Airline and Flight attendant ban.

And that's before you get to the ban in law because the FCC mused about letting airlines decide. In 2018

Those regulations targeting EMI with aviation communications would no longer make sense, I think, when we're talking about the airliner's own wi-fi; that should be flight-qualified for that purpose.
