The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) wants to improve Wi-Fi service on airplanes by establishing a new mobile broadband network. The Commission wants to use satellite spectrum to communicate with airplanes which would then improve internet service in the sky.The commissioner, Ajit Pai said, “Some flights don’t offer any broadband service at all. Others do, but speeds are usually much slower than what we enjoy on the ground, and it’s expensive. So what does this mean? Lower productivity for business travelers and less enjoyable flights for vacationers.” The FCC plans to license the airwaves and it will take like 6 to 12 months before passengers can see a change in the speed of in the air Wi-Fi.
