Look Out Airport Networks...

Look Out Airport Networks... 11/18/2003 09:04 PM
JetBlue Airways is offering free Wi-Fi to folks hanging out in its departure gates in Terminal 6 in New York's JFK Airport: The airline also offers the free Wi-Fi in its hub, the LA/Long Beach airport. If more airlines start doing this, it will be interesting to watch what happens to the companies that are already offering fee-based services in airports. That seems to be a big business, with hotspot providers signing exclusive deals with airports. I wonder what sort of rights airlines have to build Wi-Fi networks in the gates they often use. Glenn has heard from some folks in the industry that airports are starting to assert rights to spectrum that they previously left alone, or encoding these rights in new contracts as airline leases expire....

Concourse went through some restructuring a few months ago, and is finally getting caught up on its contracted airports. It's had Detroit under contracts for years, and the three New York/New Jersey airports (JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark) are about to get fully built out as well instead of the partial service now available....

NY Times Looks at AirPort Wi-Fi

NY Times Looks at AirPort Wi-Fi 07/26/2004 11:11 PM
Airports are finally getting the Wi-Fi religion, but only 19 of top 50 airports have service; 6 are deciding on vendors: I know regular readers of this site are used to seeing my byline on any Wi-Fi obsessive article in the New York Times, but I can't be everywhere. Jane Levere writes an extremely tight wrap-up on the current and future state of Wi-Fi in airports, focusing on pricing, utility, and the lack of roaming plans. As noted earlier today, SBC has signed roaming agreements with a number of airport providing hotspot operators: if it added Sprint PCS and AT&T Wireless's locations, it would have the hat trick. But until SBC actually adds it's newest partners into their network and signs additional locations, we've got a pretty scattered set of airports under any given plan. One item not mentioned that affects Wi-Fi in airports is the airlines and concessionaires sudden ability to put in their own networks per a recent FCC clarification that only they can regulate unlicensed spectrum, not landlords or airport authorities. This report is just a month old, and I'm sure that airlines, retail shops, and other tenants of airports are still digesting the decision and beating airport authorities over the head about it. We'll very likely see a number of interesting airport options that crop up with that artificial landlord restriction removed. The authorities may try to keep a lid on through other methods, but the FCC handed tenants a blunt instrument. (Now, don't get on me about spectrum etiquette and coordination. It's a good idea. If you have 20 networks operating in a small space all on the same channel--very bad. Tragedy of the commons. And so forth. But etiquette is enforced when no one gets utility unless everyone cooperates. Prisoner's Dilemma and all that. Thus, spectrum coordination for unlicensed use can happen ante or post facto.)...

Is It Against The Law To Put The Name Of
The Toronto Airport On The Web?

Is It Against The Law To Put The Name Of
The Toronto Airport On The Web? 11/13/2003 05:16 PM
Sometimes you have to wonder about folks who are very quick to dash off legal threats to websites that happen to mention their name. The site Urinal.net is a (surprisingly) popular website posting pictures of urinals from around the world. They were recently profiled in the Wall Street Journal and on BBC radio among others. The site has hundreds of fans who regularly submit pictures of urinals they take from locations all over the world. Basically, it's the sort of bizarre, but amusing, site that makes the internet fun. Not everyone seems to get the fun part, though. Someone from the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (the GTAA) happened to find a page on the site that includes two completely normal photos of urinals from the Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, and decided that this must be illegal. They've sent an email threatening legal action against the site if they did not remove the name of the airport from the site. The site's owners complied, but were clear to mention that the GTAA had muted them. In response, the GTAA has also told them they cannot even mention the GTAA. Again, the site has complied in very amusing fashion. The description of the airport now reads: "The [facility in question] - covering 1,792 hectares (4,430 acres) - has been [Canada's largest city's] main international [aircraft take-off and landing facility] since 1939 when it was first known as Malton [facility]." They also note that the "Gee-Tee-Aye-Aye" forbids them from naming the actual airport. It makes you wonder, on what legal authority the GTAA is claiming you cannot name their organization or their airports. It's not likely that anyone is going to be confused into believing that urinal.net is the official website of the Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport. These days, people seem very quick to pull out legal threats any time anyone so much as mentions their name on a website.
