ACMA approves in-flight mobile use

Jul 30, 2010
Australia's communications regulator has given airlines the green light to allow passengers to use their mobiles in the air
whilst in Australian airspace.

The Australian Communications and Media Authority said airlines could offer satellite services that passengers would access
through roaming arrangements with their carriers.

Now if they simply banned them in the air, and allowed their use on the ground at all times, I feel they would have the right
mix, and not cost anyone anything extra. But I know the airlines will chase the almighty dollar, and install in-air services at
rude rates.

Yes, you are correct, loud voices on mobiles at all the times, will drive most people mad.

Now if we had no voice services, but text and data only, I'm sure it would be workable.

Cheers Don...
