Using cell phones on airplanes

In Europe, there are now trial tests of onboard cellular base station. Users of mobile phones and other handheld wireless devices with roaming capability will be able to make and receive calls. They will be allowed to turn their phones on after the plane reaches 10,000 feet, when other electronic devices such as portable music players and laptops are permitted.

This service might be rolled out in 2007.
