How can they do that?  Wi-Fi operates in unlcensed spectrum at 2.4 GHz.  The
next thing you know they will try to auction air!

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.
