Mobile To Be Installed In Aircraft?

The UK is now heavily considering installing special devices to allow users to use their mobile devices in planes. Most of us who travel, and even many who don't, know about the big rumor on a cell phone could cause a plane's doom. The devices that would allow for these calls are known as "pico cells" that relay the calls to a satellite before sent being sent down to be routed out.

Once a plane would reach altitude just short of 10,000 feet (3,000 meters) the service could be activated allowing a mobile service. Phone calls and other mobile services would have an increase in pricing due to the complexity of the system just to handle these calls. Problems range from pricing, deals with mobile companies, and out of service issues. This is because unless more airports install these bases that receive these signals, especially those which will leave UK and Europe to other parts of the world.

On a personal note, it might just be too inconvenient for other passengers. This may be similar to being on the ground next to someone on a bus who utterly must tell his companion everything he did today and every street he passes. We've all been in public with this people, maybe some of you reading have a habit of this yourself. Quite annoying to society sitting around these heavy users , changing the social patterns towards that of technology. The future seems to be dimming as so many people fully occupied with someone miles and miles away, ignoring that potential companion sitting next to them.
