JetBlue to offer free in-flight Wi-Fi and Amazon Prime streaming video

JetBlue and Amazon today announced a deal to bring streaming video to Amazon Prime members over the airline's free in-flight Wi-Fi service. JetBlue was slower than other airlines to roll out Wi-Fi, but it says that its new "Fly-Fi" service "is now available on a number of JetBlue aircraft, and we're working hard to install this new service across our fleet as quickly as possible." JetBlue's website description of Fly-Fi says it offers basic Internet access for free and faster service that supports "bandwidth-heavy applications like streaming movies and large downloads" for $9 an hour. But when contacted by Ars, a JetBlue spokesperson said that during the service's beta tests, "we learned that the technology was designed so well that we can support streaming in the free plan, too, which is what customers want. As Fly-Fi moves out of beta, Amazon and JetBlue will be working together to guarantee a high-quality experience for customers in the free Fly-Fi plan."
