I think they are trying to accomodate people in many different ways but you cannot please everyone. JetBlue is a great airline.

The wi-fi is still in test phases which is why things are so limited right now. Honestly, JetBlue doesn't usually have long flights, so people can survive not using their phones for a couple hours. Just watch their tvs and deal with your phones after landing. Even if they had free range wi-fi I wouldnt use it. I tend to fly nothing but JetBlue because they have cheap flights (I've gotten tickets for $28), are usually on time, and I do like the free Directv at every seat. If you don't like it, fly another airline. Simple as that Does it matter what you can use it for if other airlines have nothing like it?

Allowing WiFi will eventually allow VoIP users to make calls which will be the same as allowing cell calls. Flying is already a painful process but allowing cell/VoIP calls will be the final straw making flying unbearable. Since there won't be an effective way to block VoIP calls, the smart airlines will either not implement WiFi, or provide an area where callers can go and not disturb other passengers. Since the latter would likely mean removing seats to accomodate this, the chances are slim to none. Time to find another means of long distance travel.....

Can't be cheap to wire the planes for wifi and less than 1% of passangers will use it with this configuration. That’s dumb.

Well I don't know how this helps the cost of putting internet in the sky except of sponsors paying for it all. However after 5 minutes of being online, you're done, that is if you have Yahoo mail. Wouldn't it be better to have you system used by lots of people for most of their flight than by 3 people for 5% of the flight? Nice try?
