You have your upcoming aircraft mixed up.

Dreamliner dumped wireless entertainment system, 380 just couldn't get the wiring harness' right. Any 380 flying today or in assembly is probably custom wired - no two alike.

No I don't:

From:http://www.avionnewspaper.com/home/index.cfm?event=displayArticle&ustory_id=545e468b-c60d-4f4f-b626-22d27461edfb

The A380's wiring problems include the wiring of in-flight entertainment, like audio and video signals, to televisions and headphone jacks. Boeing's aircraft, besides claiming to have a fifth as much wiring as the inside of the A380, will use a Wi-Fi system to distribute the entertainment to different people.

This is the first I've heard that the 787 was thinking of using WIFI. Now you say they're dropped that idea? Probably a good idea to NOT use WIFI.
