The days of switching off mobile phones in-flight appear numbered

I wonder what the costs of the system will be? As I understand it, the plane is like an "overseas" carrier, hence why the phones need to be able to roam. Considering the ground link will be satellite I would imagine the costs would be quite high.

Recently, Rex changed their policy regarding the use of inflight-mode capable phones onboard. Rex used to not allow any phones switched on, from the point of boarding until back in the arrival terminal.
One can now use inflight-mode once the seatbelt sign is switched off inflight, until seatbelt sign is switched back on. Cheers David.M. |
the whole thing is probably designed to allow business travellers with blackberrys to stay connected - this will help them a lot!

What a shame, the last known place on earth to escape from that incessant mobile phone noise, will be soon gone.
