The FCC moves to introduce High Speed Internet
Posted by jt on Saturday, May 11 @ 12:58:46 UTC (134 reads)

The Federal Communications Commission moved to establish a multi-gigabit in-flight Internet service using newly–available airwaves in the 14.0-14.5 GHz band on Thursday.    The proposal, based largely on a petition from Qualcomm first made in 2011, would involve the creation of 150 ground stations which would beam Internet signals up to aircraft. In its petition, Qualcomm cited the explosion in mobile broadband usage, noting that the use of mobile is “now an integral part of many Americans’ lives “The reality is that we expect and often need to be able to get online 24/7, at home, in an office or on a plane,” said Julius Genachowski, the FCC chairman, at a meeting Thursday. “This will enable business and leisure travelers aboard aircraft in the United States to be more productive and have more choices in entertainment, communications and social media, and it could lower prices.”The new service would provide connectivity to aircraft flying within the contiguous United States and would not work over Alaska, Hawaii, or island territories
