Jaunted had a moan the other day at news that Norwegian Air plans to ‘ruin your flight’ by introducing both wireless internet access and mobile phone use by Q4 of 2008.
There is tremendous resistance to in-flight mobile phone use. Jaunted clearly isn’t happy about it, and the Telegraph is also conducting a campaign against it.
Enough of the naysayers hogging the limelight. I’m coming out in favour of mobile phones, laptops, Wi-Fi… any technology airlines can get working safely, basically.
Here are six reasons why…
- In-flight calls/SMS will make arranging airport pick-ups 92% easier.
- And make business travellers more productive.
- And stave off boredom. (Admit it: economy-class IFE is mostly crap.)
- If you don’t want to use your phone, you can turn it off.
- People already chatter inanely on aircraft. What’s the difference?
- Rail operators have introduced ‘quiet zones’. So can airlines.
Who’s with me? Add your arguments in the comments and I’ll pop them in the main post. Naysayers, I expect I’ll hear from you too
