JetBlue names its WiFi service “Fly-Fi”

Jet Blue has announced that all the good names were taken, like, I don’t know – Wi-Fi – and they have announced their new name for it on their blog:

“On our road to deliver the fastest in-flight wireless experience, the finish line is in sight! Today we’re pleased to share our latest milestone, the name of the best in-flight wireless service will be: Fly-Fi!

Most fliers probably agree that in-flight Wi-Fi is a cool concept, but those who have tried it don’t love the options they have today. Our service promises to up the experience to satisfy the increasing appetite for connectivity across multiple devices. Fly-Fi will be smarter, newer, faster and better than anything on the market today for commercial aviation. The up-side is, you’ll soon be able to experience Wi-Fi connections that do more than just frustrate you, the down-side is that because it’s a completely new way to deliver connectivity, there’s still a lot of testing to be done before the FAA, signs off, and our customers start seeing it on their JetBlue flights.
