After just spending 8.5 hours in a plane coming back from Europe, I’m not so sure this news is good news. But today, JetBlue won a government auction for wireless spectrum. With it, the airline could offer its customers cell phone service aboard flights as well as access to the Internet and other entertainment. I would have liked the Internet access, but listening to other people’s phone calls would have annyoed me. The spectrum that JetBlue got is in the 1-megahertz frequency band. It is sold by the Federal Communications Commission nationwide and is not limited to just JetBlue, so it is likely that JetBlue’s subsidiary, LiveTV, which won the auction, will now offer the service to other airlines.
