...specialized video - such as, say, a Lenny Bruce skit or minor-league soccer clip - from mobile networks. This would not be all bad for mobile operators. Not only would it save some revenue for them, but it would also allow them to free capacity on their networks for their core product - voice. Sports (and, of course, porn) is expected to be a big driver of mobile-TV traffic, just as it has been for mobile-phone video.

But more important than the bottom line to JetBlue has always been safety: the airline lists 'safety' as one of its first five core principles, has a sterling safety record and a rigorous training regimen for crew members. Chief Operating officer Dave Barger, the son of a United Airlines pilot, constantly reinforces that message whenever he speaks to employees.
