( alyst for ratings agency Standard and P...)'Hi, can You Hear Me? I'm at 30,000 Feet',Health

alyst for ratings agency Standard and Poor's, Leigh Bailey, believes there is a fine line to tread between offering the convenience of a mobile phone service and the inconvenience of the resulting noise. "It offers potential ancillary revenues but on the other hand you have to balance this with the risk that it could annoy other travellers and could cause them to turn away from air travel," he said. Lake believes that another two or three operators will enter the market to supply high-altitude telecom equipment in the coming years, meaning phone calls on planes could become commonplace. He also had a surprising revelation: mobile phones are not really much of a danger for planes after all.

Research by OnAir shows that about 10 percent of people forget to turn their phones off during flights, despite repeated warnings by cabin crew before takeoff. "It is quite normal that people on airplanes forget to turn their phones off from time to time. "If there was any profound safety issue associated with this then it would have manifested itself already."
