Boeing unit sees airline cell phone service in ’06
By
In the prior news post the cell phone giant Cingular is against airline cell phone use, but today Boeing is all for it. Boeing plans on introducing cell phone service in 2006 with or without the support of companies like Cingular.
Boeing Co. unit Connexion expects to start selling cellular phone services to airline passengers as early as next year, its president said on Thursday, despite opposition from the flying public.
“We expect that once the regulatory issues and the social issues are ironed out we’ll be introducing that (mobile phone) service as well,” said Laurette Koellner, president of Connexion by Boeing, the unit which offers in-flight Web access. “We’re projecting that to be some time next year.”
