David P. Reed:
  GoGo does not need to run "Man in the Middle Attacks" on YouTube

Whick summary:
  GoGo provides internet access on airplanes.  They want to block YouTube 
(and similar) to avoid overloading their thin pipes.  They are doing that by 
intercepting https connections and presenting bogus certificates.

Details here:
  Gogo issues fake HTTPS certificate to users visiting YouTube
  Inflight service promises no data is collected, but practice sets a bad 
precedent
