JetBlue to offer free wi-fi on some flights

Posted by Nick on December 7, 2007

Starting on one plane on Dec. 11, 2007, JetBlue will begin offering free in-flight e-mail and Yahoo instant messaging service via a broadband Wi-Fi network.

It will be the first U.S. airline to offer in-flight Wi-Fi.

At the start of the program, passengers can send and receive e-mail from any type of e-mail account on BlackBerry 8820 and 8320 models. Laptop users are only able to use Yahoo e-mail and Yahoo’s instant messaging application, at least from the start.
