But how to be with radio interferences?

Linor,

There shouldn't be any radio interference with this wifi setup. This technology operates independently from the plane's communication and control systems frequencies.

It's even safe to actually use a regular cellphone on a plane while in flight. It does not interfere with anything. The reason why you aren't allowed to use them aboard while flying is because the flight attendants need the complete attention of their passengers. It's not a tech issue, just a control one.

The other issue you have with mobile phones in particular is that the phone can connect with thousands of towers at once due to altitude. I can't imagine that would go over well with the mobile phone carriers.

I would say that this experiment will help a lot in restricting the users of mobile web.
