Well, I've had a reply from Mr Turner. He states:
"The phones will be restricted to a strict protocol. I.e., no incoming, outgoing under strict circumstances.
It's all about blackberries and laptops really"
Which doesn't really sound much like:
Bmi to trial mobile use on flights
Two European airlines are to allow passengers to use their own mobile phones on commercial flights within western Europe.
British carrier bmi and TAP Air Portugal have both agreed to introduce OnAir's voice and text service for cell phones in separate three-month trial runs, OnAir's Chief Executive George Cooper said.
The planes, which will be the first to allow passengers to make and receive calls with their own mobile phones while onboard, will give OnAir the chance to assess its service before its general release, slated for 2007, he said.
as widely reported in the media.
Ar$e, elbow, Turner.....?
