If they are indeed going to offer in flight Wifi, I doubt it would provide enough bandwidth for VOIP.
Lufthansa offers in flight Wifi already, and the bandwidth is typically 120 - 160kbps (although they claim that they offer higher bandwidth). If they use satellite to relay the signal to a ground staion, then you're looking at 500-600ms delays. Given the this, the VOIP quality would be pretty crappy.
