Boeing: Cell Phones on Planes by 2006
06/17/2005 04:37 PMBoeing says that even though a large majority of the flying public is
against it, the company expects to begin selling cell phone access by
next year. In order for this to happen, however, Boeing must convince
the FAA to not only ignore airline passengers, but also some cellular
phone companies as well.

07/16/2004 01:59 PMWell, now that we've got
WiFi in
the sky, we're getting closer to yakking in the sky as well. A
few months back we mentioned the idea of
stickin
g a cell tower on the plane itself as a way of avoiding that whole
messy phone-connecting-to-hundreds-of-cell-towers-on-the-ground thing.
Now, American Airlines and Qualcomm have
successfully
tested just such a solution. Passengers were able to make calls,
send text messages and surf the internet from their phones. Of
course, if this works out, and 3G wireless networks become more
popular, airlines may not even need to worry about setting up internet
access on a plane -- people will do it by themselves using their
phones. Of course, the test only ran for CDMA phones (it
is
Qualcomm running the test, after all), but that does raise a question
about whether every plane will need to carry such micro-cells from all
the major carriers to make this really work. Some may also wonder
whether or not airlines will need to create special "quiet zones"
(like those found on many train lines) for those who are annoyed at
the possibility of sitting next to someone screaming (and with all
that background noise, they
will be screaming) on their mobile
phone for the whole flight.

03/31/2005 08:57 AMThe ability to make an emergency call has been given as the top reason
for taking a cell phone when traveling, according to a survey by
Mobal, the international phone company. Mobal conducted the survey of
its customers after reporting an 80% increase in international cell
phone purchase during 2004, and believe the results show that US
citizens, although still concerned with global instabilities, are
increasingly confident to travel internationally. [PRWEB Mar 31, 2005]

07/02/2004 01:22 AMKim Komando did a nice article on buying camera phones recently. She
discusses the importance of checking out the quality of the phone by
reading reviews and being selective when choosing a wireless carrier.
She then goes on to advise that you “try it before you buy
it”. Snap some photos to see how the images turn out. Her
message is clear as she explains that you need to know what to expect
from your carrier and what features you are wanting from your phone.
