FCC Eases Rules For Quicker In-Flight Internet Deployment

As silly as it seems to use 20,000 pounds of potatoes to test wireless signals, there's absolutely a good reason behind it and the FCC announced today new rules that will help get more potatoes into the seats of decommissioned planes. Actually, today's news will help speed up the process of deploying Internet services onto aircraft by defining ESAA, or Earth Stations Aboard Aircraft which are used to provide in-flight Internet services, as a licensed application that would allow for airlines to test and receive approval as long as their system doesn't interfere with the aircraft's systems.
