The United States Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) “regulates interstate and international communications by
radio, television, wire, satellite and cable in all 50 states, the District of
Columbia and U.S. territories.” Fcc.gov

The FCC is lifting the ban on inflight
calls to and from passengers aboard aircraft.
The decision will allow individual airlines to decide whether or not to allow
these calls. In other words, while the
FCC will not ban calls, an airline can impose its own ban.
My questions have nothing to do
with whether or not this is a good idea.
My questions are about the introduction of passenger accessible WiFi on aircraft. If you want to participate, you do not have
to answer all of the questions below.
1. What are the technical differences between VOIP and other
data that may have caused interference in aircraft systems. Interference was the stated focus of the original
policy?
2. Should VOIP from aircraft be a separate regulatory issue
from other types of communication and why?
3. Please provide comments on whether or not putting onboard
WiFi for customers was a precursor to the FCC decision.
Thanks
AKH
