Reuters is reporting that another slice of spectrum is on the auction block, this time it’s to be used for airline in-flight services. “Please turn off all electronic devices” may soon be an announcement of the past for frequent flyers. While the FCC isn’t quite ready to sanction cell phone use in the friendly skies (I expect that will change in the near future as the airlines continue to test and beef up their equipment against possible interference issues), they’re opening up this spectrum for communications services like high-speed Internet to U.S. air travelers.

And we all know that voice services now come along with that deal, so expect to hear your more of your fellow travelers Skype-ing from 30,000 feet real soon now.
