Anne Broache, a Staff Writer CNET News.com posted a story today that did my heart good. There has been a fight in Boston about FREE Wi-Fi at Continental Airlines lounge. The airport wanted to charge folks...Continental wanted it FREE.
Well it seems as if a decision by federal regulators has brought a victory for Continental Airlines and you and me!
In a decision viewed as a boost for wireless networks even beyond airports, federal regulators on Wednesday ruled that the Massachusetts Port Authority cannot block a Wi-Fi access point in the Continental Airlines lounge at Boston's Logan International Airport.
The Federal Communications Commission concluded that under a decade-old set of rules governing over-the-air reception devices, or OTARD, the world's No. 5 airline was well within its bounds to provide the free service.
