SGE.....re: spectrum auction ...

``The date that customers may begin using Wi-Fi devices on United ultimately will be determined by the Federal Communications Commission`s (FCC) scheduled ``Air-to-Ground``

spectrum auction to be held in the coming months, where service rights and range of frequencies

will be awarded to one or more providers for onboard passenger access to the Internet.

Once a service provider is selected by the FCC, United is positioned to act quickly to bring this service

to customers.``

They`ve got their FAA WI-FI in cabin approval....now looking for out side the aircraft approval...approvals within cabin are FAA...out side the cabin FCC.
