JetBlue's LiveTV unit to snatch up Verizon's Airfone network

Nary a week after JetBlue expanded its in-flight internet services on BetaBlue comes news that the airline's LiveTV unit will be picking up Verizon's Airfone network. As you can glean, the purchase is being made in order to further "develop in-flight email and internet services," and while no purchase price was disclosed by either outfit, we are told that LiveTV will receive "100 air-to-ground US communications towers and Airfone's corporate and government aviation clients on January 1st." That's nice and all, but can't we get something out of this sooner?

Can't we have Bob Barker back?

I've watched the show since the early 80s, and honestly Drew is much more personable than Bob ever was.

To me, it seems like Drew can't WAIT to get it over with....he's all business. "So where ya from"...."great"..."Shutup and get your ass over there".

Price is right used to be the best part of staying home sick on a weekday, now Drew Carey has ruined that little joy in my life. He has no love for the game.

Now I'll go cry in a corner.

Reminds me of a dark time in my life...a time when Dane Cook was playing on the XM and nothing better was on...

Do you really want people to have another reason to stay in the bathroom in flight,especially if you have to go?

No thank you.
