WASHINGTON - Airlines can provide their passengers access to high-speed wireless Internet while they fly, under a vote by federal regulators Wednesday.
"If there is a theme for this meeting, it is that we want (new technologies) on the land, in the air, and on the sea" Federal Communications Commission chairman Michael Powell said Wednesday as the commission considered new rules for airlines.
"We are pushing the frontiers in order to bring the information age to all corners of the world," he said.
The FCC also talked about whether to end the ban on using cell phones on planes, but did not vote.
