Calls to reach new heights.

Apr 10, 2007 (The Australian Financial Review - ABIX via COMTEX) -- Australian airline Qantas Airways will begin a trial to permit the use of mobile telephones on some domestic routes in April 2007. The trial will take place on Boeing 767 aircraft due to their less advanced avionics. The move follows a submission to the Australian Communications & Media Authority by the Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association that claimed alleged interference to electronic equipment from mobile devices was exaggerated. Qantas has addressed a problem relating to jammed mobile telephone towers caused by in-flight handset use by effectively establishing the aircraft as a country in itself.
