[AusNOG] WIFI/Internet on Planes

[Curtis Bayne]

Joel,

It's absolutely crazy this isn't available in Australia. The FAA has
allowed transmitters on American flights for a number of years now and
CASA, as usual, are dragging the chain.

Mobile phone reception on planes actually isn't too bad below 25000ft
considering the downward elevation with which the sectors are usually
aligned. I've got a friend who is a commercial domestic airline pilot - he
reckons the bottom on the cockpit window is the best place to stick your
phone on hotspot mode in Boeing aircraft ;)


Regards,
Curtis
