JetBlue WiFi Progress
Anyone with additional information? I just tweeted them and got this response which didn't address the timing/schedule question at all... I'm based out of Boston and they are HUGE here, practically flying direct to every place I need to go... add in a few extra bucks for an exit row with 38" pitch, and they really can't be beat. The only thing missing is WiFi, which I know is coming ... but WHEN??

Any time we make modifications to our aircraft, we must get the FAA’s sign off on those changes. LiveTV is currently leading the certification process for our Wi-Fi system, which is the first of its kind for commercial aviation. Among other physical changes required to integrate broadband on our jets is the installation of a longer radome atop the fuselage to house the communications equipment. We anticipate the certification process taking 40-70 days after it begins in March.
