Slashdot Mirror

this is probably gonna hurt but here goes anyway http://mirrors.mednor.net/slashdot/10092008/geoeye-1-kutztown.jpg

Do not think that is true either. However a friend of mine who is a balloonist years ago told me what happened when he used a cell phone in flight - chaos! It would try and talk to many many towers at once and it was a mess. This article supports that theory and I think they have the reason right - multiple cell towers cannot easily handle being contacted by a single phone moving 500miles an hour. Now multiply that by the numbers of people that fly every day and you can see why the cell companies sure as heck don't want this occurring! I've still done it though :-) They explain how in-plane cell calls would work too if you read the article. http://mirrors.mednor.net/slashdot/10072008/TidBITS_Networking%20_Peering_Inside_a_Mobile_Phone_Network.htm
