Does this mean gate to gate connectivity at High Altitude Airports?

For example a Delta Connection flight form Colorado Springs to Salt Lake City?
COS is at 6,187 feet and SLC at 4,226 feet, does a gogo equipped CRJ-900 that seems to fly these flights will now have wifi gate-to-ge?

@subwaynut no being at a higher elevation from sea level does not change this - the plane still needs to be 3000 ft above the ground of COS or SLC etc. And with mountain areas like CO, MT, UT say JAC one would expect it to be spotty till you get above the ridgelines.

What isn't in the news is the rumors of Gogo turning these equipment into a 5G cellphone tower. Anyone have some insider to share?

@SubwayNut

That's a good one!!!! Unfortunately, like @BallardFlyer said, it should be 3000ft AGL.
These Gogo are receiving from ground. The 2Ku are from satellites.
