      Like it or not, the prospect of being able to use mobile phones on aeroplanes is inching ever closer. Last week Ryanair announced that it would      its entire fleet of Boeing 737s with small base stations, called
picocells, provided by OnAir, a technology company backed by Airbus. The picocells will use satellite links to allow mobile phones to be used during flight without      ground-based aviation networks. Taking a cut of the resulting revenues will help Ryanair to keep its ticket prices down, according to the firm’s boss.
      But it is uncertain just how popular, and hence how      , in-flight calling will be. The technical
obstacles have been overcome and regulatory approval is expected soon-at least in Europe. Regulators are expected to issue guidelines in the next few weeks defining which frequencies can be used and national aviation authorities will start      airlines’ installations early next year.
      Mobile phones must still surmount social obstacles, however. Will people flock to airlines that offer infight calling, or avoid them? And how much will callers be prepared to pay? OnAir, its rival AeroMobile and other firms have conducted a series of surveys in an attempt to find out.
      One survey of young mobile-phone users, carried out last year by IDC and SMS.ac, a mobile portal, found 64% of young people favoured in-flight texting, and only 11% liked the idea of making calls. And 82% of    10    agreed with the statement “I don’t want people talking on their phones during flights.” The results are not surprising to many, actually.
