I suppose you've heard of the idea of putting 2GHz packet
transmission repeaters on every commercial aircraft?  The idea
is that there is hardly a moment when there isn't at least one
aircraft over someplace in the U.S., so the number of times
you would find the global network unavailable to your pocket
terminal should be fairly small...and of courronic equipment in an airplane (including a two meter
amateur radio transmitter) without effect on the radios.  When
people start using their personal computers on the plane, someone
will find out if they really cause a problem (with the new FCC
EMI (electro-magnetic interference) regulations I see no problem
with using microprocessor-based devices on a plane).
