Finally allow 2.4GHz band communications on flights, since they have never been proven to cause any kind of interference with flight communications [which are not typically in the microwave band]. And now that consumers want it so badly, I'm sure they will be charged $10 USD per minute [or maybe by per KB] to go wireless... Anyone who lacks the ability to circumvent the toll based access points is gonna get wallet-raped. Stinks of 'wait until users will do anything to get out of the stone age, then charge them whatever we feel like it' tactics to me. I'll just be sniffing all of the trade secrets and 'must by from SkyMall NOW' credit card information on the in-flight network. :P Ok sure, thats a neat idea… Finally allow 2.4GHz band communications on flights, since they have never been proven to cause any kind of interference with flight communications [which are not typically in the microwave band].
