The FCC Wireless Bureau extended to May 16 the deadline for replies in a proceeding to decide whether to expand mobile wireless services on planes. They were originally due March 17 (CD Jan 16 p17), and CTIA on Feb. 28 sought a 60-day delay (CD March 5 p17). The bureau agreed with requests for an extension made by CTIA, AeroMobile and Panasonic Avionics, stating that an extension is warranted to ensure the FCC obtains a complete and thorough technical record.
