FCC chief wants Logan to allow airlines' WiFi
By Peter J. Howe, Globe Staff | September 21, 2006
The nation's top telecommunications regulator is pushing to overturn a disputed ban Logan International Airport officials imposed two years ago on wireless Internet services offered by airlines at Logan, according to a published report.
The chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, is trying to get at least two other FCC commissioners to agree that the Massachusetts Port Authority, which runs Logan, has to allow airlines to offer so-called WiFi wireless service in Logan's waiting areas, professionals familiar with the matter told Reuters.
Soon after launching its own $8-a-day WiFi service throughout Logan in the summer of 2004, Massport officials ordered Continental Airlines to remove a WiFi transmitter from its Terminal C lounge.
