FCC: Allow Wireless Internet on Planes 12/17/2004 06:30 PM

The FCC board overwhelmingly voted in favor of allowing high-speed Internet on airline flights Wednesday. The vote opens the door for wireless access on commercial flights by 2006. Part of the ruling also opened for public comment a proposal to lift the in-flight cell phone use ban.

Phones On Planes


Phones On Planes 07/16/2004 01:59 PM
Well, now that we've got WiFi in the sky, we're getting closer to yakking in the sky as well. A few months back we mentioned the idea of stickin g a cell tower on the plane itself as a way of avoiding that whole messy phone-connecting-to-hundreds-of-cell-towers-on-the-ground thing. Now, American Airlines and Qualcomm have successfully tested just such a solution. Passengers were able to make calls, send text messages and surf the internet from their phones. Of course, if this works out, and 3G wireless networks become more popular, airlines may not even need to worry about setting up internet access on a plane -- people will do it by themselves using their phones. Of course, the test only ran for CDMA phones (it is Qualcomm running the test, after all), but that does raise a question about whether every plane will need to carry such micro-cells from all the major carriers to make this really work. Some may also wonder whether or not airlines will need to create special "quiet zones" (like those found on many train lines) for those who are annoyed at the possibility of sitting next to someone screaming (and with all that background noise, they will be screaming) on their mobile phone for the whole flight.

BoingBoing pal, wireless ubergeek, and SoCalWug co-founder Mike Outmesguine says:
I went warflying yesterday with folks from DailyWireless.com, TomsHardware.com, HighspeedLA.com, and CNN. We took off on parallel runways and flew in formation throughout the flight. While the planes were next to each other, we set up an in-flight wireless network and did a videoconferencing session from plane-to-plane. WiFi in the sky! Additionally, we performed a wireless network survey during the flight and found about 4000 access points.
