The brief story was good news/bad news for wi-fi. A rapid spread of wi-fi at airports is a boon to travelers, but a battle for the tenants of airports.
The airports’ baggage handlers may have their own system, and outside companies can interfere or completely shut it down. The airports want to install their own system, and charge their tenants (the airlines) to use it. Some companies, like UPS, which has invested $120 million in their own system, may have incompatible systems. UPS and some airlines are pressing FCC to stop airports from limiting wi-fi usage to their own systems.”
