United, and all major carriers I've flown on recently, already offer wifi (good enough to stream YT, in my experience, so presumably already good enough to attend meetings), this isn't a new service announcement.
This announcement is just that they are going to be trialing using Starlink as an ISP in addition to the other providers they already work with.
