Inflight Connectivity Hits Europe

OnAir, an inflight entertainment provider owned by Airbus, is planning on offering a new service to allow the use of cellphones, BlackBerrys, and other wireless devices on European flights. OnAir plans on providing this service for carriers such as Air France, BMI, Emirates, Qantas, and Ryanair. There are currently over 30 countries cleared for inflight cellphone use, but the US public strongly dislikes the idea, by over a 2 to 1 margin, so it appears cellphone use will remain available only overseas. Sorry Teresa, but that counts for I-Phone’s too.
