NEW DELHI: Make calls while within the air. The government has cleared a much-awaited proposal to permit calls and internet products and services at the airplane, and the similar will have to be rolled out over the following 3-4 months.
The high-powered inter-ministerial Telecom Commission, headed by Telecom Secretary Aruna Sundararajan, approved the move which is able to allow you to use your smartphone as soon as the airplane achieves a height of three,000 meters.
“The products and services can be rolled out over the following 3-4 months as arrangements will want to be made between telecom corporations, airways and different intermediaries concerned within the procedure,” Sundararajan mentioned.
The measure was earlier approved by telecom regulator Trai.
It is expected that buyers will want to pay additional price lists for availing in-flight connectivity, though telcos would possibly steadily throw-in bundled packages to attract frequent fliers.
