Internet Airplane

The Internet is spawning a host of new businesses trying to make a buck by providing access to the Web. One entrepreneur is trying to provide service to certain metropolitan areas by keeping a solar-powered airplane circling overhead at 50,000 feet -- sort of a satellite system that's not in outer space. Robert Sigel talks with Marc E. Arnold, chief executive of Angel Technologies in St. Louis, Mo. He joins us by phone from Los Angeles.
