Hmmm... What communication does Inmarsat think will be enhanced in the case of a terrorist incident? How many terrorists (or Captains of victim airplanes) have attempted ANY communication that would be "speeded up" by this system?
Again, Inmarsat didn't make that claim.
Don't believe everything you read in the newspapers.
