UK in-flight calls get green light

UK airlines could let passengers use their mobile phones to make calls and send text messages by 2008, under proposals from Ofcom.
The watchdog has set out guidelines to allow airlines to offer mobile services on UK-registered aircraft, if they wish to do so.
The proposed system includes an on-board base station which connects to a passenger's mobile handset.
