The regulators have just given the all-clear to using mobile phones on planes... once they reach 3000m.
There's still some hardware to be approved and installed to make this a reality though - each plane will need its own picocell. So don't try it on your next flight just yet.

The rate of change is so rapid it's difficult for one person to keep up to speed. Let's pool our thoughts, share our reactions and, who knows, even reach some shared conclusions worth arriving at?
I look forward to the arguments over whether the plane has reached/dropped below 3000m.
ReplyDeleteA blanket ban is probably easier for everyone...although it'll be fun seeing what happens when a plane banks at 2999 metres...or goes through turbulence etc...
The picocell gets turned on or off at the discretion of the flight crew. So it won't work until they say so.
