FCC to Auction Internet Wireless Airwaves on Planes

A Reuters newswire article by Jeremy Pelofsky, via Yahoo! News, reports that:

U.S. regulators plan to sell airwaves starting May 10 to provide communications services like high-speed Internet to U.S. air travelers.

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission said on Wednesday it plans to auction airwaves now used by phones embedded in airplane seats. Those phones, operated by a Verizon Communications unit, are not used regularly because of the high cost.
