Finally, I'm back after a long hiatus. The first that caught my attention is the announcement of the European Commission to support in-flight mobile use by harmonizing the technical and licensing requirements.

That's great news for all mobile phone deals addicts as well as traveling business people. At this early stage, EU has issued a stern warning to all wireless operators to be more transparent about pricing. According to EU Telecoms Commissioner Viviane Reding:
"In-flight mobile phone services can be a very interesting new service especially for those business travellers who need to be ready to communicate wherever they are, wherever they go. However, if consumers receive shock phone bills, the service will not take off."
On the other hand, The Register notes inflight mobile use might cause more stress to other travelers due to additional noise and disturbance it inherently carries.
