JetBlue Bringing (Extremely Limited) WiFi To The Skies

Jeff Goldman on our sister blog The Wireless Weblog let's us know that JetBlue will be testing WiFi on an LAX-to-SFO flight on the 11th of December (Tuesday). Several other US airlines have announced plans to go down this road as well.

JetBlue's experiment will severely restrict your Internet access to Blackberry email and email and IM through Yahoo. You must have a wifi-enabled Blackberry as the service will not support traditional mobile phone networks.

It's a baby step. I understand there are bandwidth limitations, and Blackberry support is a good choice. But why Yahoo? Why not Google or any other number of service providers? Hopefully they won't charge for this severely restricted service and eventually open it up.
