New York: JetBlue Airways will soon start offering limited e-mail and instant messaging services for free on one of its planes in a few weeks time as airlines renew efforts to offer in-flight Internet access.
General web surfing and e-mail attachments wont be permitted because of bandwidth constraints, and services on laptops and handhelds with Wi-Fi wireless access will be limited to e-mail and messaging from Yahoo!.
Passengers can check other personal and work e-mail only on two BlackBerry models that have Wi-Fi wireless capabilities, under a deal with BlackBerry maker Research In Motion.
