FCC rules free wireless not a threat to national security
By NetworkWorld Co... on Thu, 11/02/06 - 8:39am.Good news for people who get stuck at Boston's Logan Airport (like, um, me): The FCC has ruled that the state authority that runs the airport can't ban airlines and others from offering free Wi-Fi. The Massachusetts Port Authority had prohibited Continental Airlines from setting up an access point, in part because the Wi-Fi would interfere with public-safety operations and so pose a grave threat to the homeland - as opposed to the paid Wi-Fi service Massport itself offered, which presumably blocked terrorists from entering the airport.
