Come October and you can make calls on flights

In what comes across as a good news for those who fly frequently, the telecom department has given the nod for calls and usage of internet at 30,000 ft from October this year, reports Business Today.

An official at the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) was quoted as saying, "We are in the final stages of inflight connectivity licence norms and the service option will be given to carriers and telecom companies within two months," in a report in The Economic Times.

However, there is still no clarity on pricing.
