Imagine you are flying in an airliner - someone in the office calls you on your mobile to tell you that your presentation was changed by your boss. You switch on your laptop, connect wireless to your company Intranet and download the file. Alternatively, you could be going on holiday and you start wondering about the local attractions at your holiday destination, get out your PDA and hook up to the Internet.
There is evidence among passengers, the airlines and the associated industry that wireless services are or will be in demand, for a number of different reasons. For the passenger, the ability to use their own mobile phone, preferably billing direct to their terrestrial mobile operator, is a valuable service, provided that issues such as noise nuisance can be solved. In addition, for many passengers, the ability to access their e-mail and a variety of Internet services is of strong interest, provided that issues such as device configuration can be solved. Sitting in aircraft, trains, vessels or busses: get a call on your mobile phone, or download the latest presentation to your laptop.
