摘要

Up to few years ago, internet connectivity was limited to households, workplaces, or hot-spots in public places, but nowadays the idea of being online during business and commercial flights is gaining momentum. Although studies show that the main factor to differentiate between airlines is the air ticket's fare, the possibility of using portable communication devices is increasingly becoming a priority too. This has brought the European Commission to prepare the legal framework in April 2008 for wireless connectivity inside aircraft. The technology will enable passengers to communicate through their personal devices.
