Melbourne, Fla. - LiveTV, the unit of JetBlue that provides in-flight entertainment and connectivity systems for commercial airlines, announced today it has reached an agreement to purchase the Verizon Airfone network, for an undisclosed price. LiveTV said the move "will anchor the company's in-flight email and messaging platform." To develop and launch its "Kiteline service," LiveTV purchased 1 MHz of air-to-ground spectrum from the FCC in June 2006, and in December 2007 launched an email and messaging service.
