Ok, enough with the “I’m on the plane” gags already. It’s only a matter of time before mobile phone usage is allowed on planes. And you probably fall into one of two camps in this discussion. Either you hate the idea, that you might end up sitting next to someone yakking away, whilst at the same time worrying about the effect on the plane’s navigation systems. Or you think it’s great that you can make extortionately priced calls from your own phone whilst roaming at 30,000 feet, thereby avoiding paying the extortionate charges for using the on board phone system. Either way, I can’t see it taking off big time because of cost. But people will probably pay for the convenience.
