I would be in favor of 1 call per pax for a max of 30 seconds.


And you would control that how?

By having a device that disconnects calls after 30 seconds and doesn't
permit another one from the same phone. So, yeah, one per phone, not one
per pax.


I would like to know who's going to pay for a system like that. No US
carrier has yet put in an internet system yet because of the cost.

I didn't say they would, just that it is possible to limit the number of
calls and the duration of the call. Of course, this has nothing to do
with internet access. US carriers are going to have internet access, and
passengers will pay fo it.

Yes, but with a totally different system than the original Boeing one.
Which enough passengers, in fact, were not willing to pay for.
