I thought Verizon dropped this years ago and sold it to LiveTV, a JetBlue subsidiary. I didn't realize they still operated the telephony part of the network. Continental removed all the Airfones from their fleet years ago, although I did see them on a pm-United 757-200 last week.

Yeah you might have been thinking about AT&T's service Air One, which they dropped back in 2002.

Yeah, after reading the edited article in the first paragraph it says: "JetBlue Airways Corp.'s LiveTV LLC subsidiary." So now its obviously a part of JetBlue.
