Maurice, Not wanting to get you spun up, ;-) but listening carefully during the airline safety announcements reveals that cell phone use is restricted by the FCC, not the FAA. A cell phone at altitude will have connections in huge numbers of cells, line of sight propagation losses are low. The service providers object to uber-phones that consume more "channels" than earth-bound phones. Feeling a slight sense of self-preservation, I have never fired up a phone on an airliner, but have been told that they work or at least display that they are in the net. Seems as though G* phones should be possible to use directly on airplanes. Shouldn't be much of a doppler problem, or at least not worse than is already experienced by the speeding satellite. Just a path loss problem trying to squeeze the EM waves out through the window. Is there general aviation experience around to prove or disprove? Paul
