[Fourlanders] More frequency auctions

[Rogers, Ron]

Good God !!

Now they're auctioning off the frequency spectrum inside airplanes >>

1. FCC accepts bid for WiFi airplane auction 
The move toward high-speed Internet access on airplanes took another
step today as the FCC accepted five bids for its May 10 sale of airwaves
necessary to provide the service. The FCC ruled that an application by
Verizon Airfone was incomplete. The agency accepted applications from AC
BidCo, which is associated with private-equity firm Ripplewood Holdings,
and four other firms: AMTS Consortium, Intelligent Transportation &
Monitoring Wireless, Unison Spectrum and WorldCell. Verizon Airfone, a
unit of Verizon Communications, and LiveTV, owned by JetBlue Airways.
are among the seven bidders with incomplete applications. The companies
have until April 17 to correct deficiencies.
