FCC: Only We Can Regulate Unlicensed Spectrum

Posted by timothy on from the trump-card dept.

rfc1394 writes "In an article in ComputerWeekly, it was announced that the FCC has ruled that it has final jurisdiction over unlicensed wireless space, meaning that an airport authority can't force airlines to (pay to) use its wireless network and they may set up and use their own. This bodes well for the development of wireless networks in various areas as it means that you have the right to set up your own network even if your landlord would want you to use theirs."

    I personally feel that the First Christian Church should have NO control over wireless at all. Don't they have souls to save or something? I have prayed for Gods help quite often with regard to my company's network, but that's just different.
