You Could Soon Be Able To Use Your Mobile Phone On An Aircraft

Recent developments in aviation planning have meant that everyone may soon be able to use their mobile phones on an airplane, once it has reached 30,000 feet.

In the beginning usage will be solely allowed whilst passengers are in European airspace. Legal usage will also depend on the individual carriers; some still may not allow it.

Personally I don't understand the need to be contactable 24 hours a day. I mean, even if you're some sort of crisis management person, what are you going to do about a situation when your at 30,000 feet?

One thing's for sure though, if this legislation comes through there will be a whole lot of 'Guess where I am!' phone calls being made. The networks will be overjoyed!
