WirelessCabin's wireless cabin

While we can't wait for the day when we can enjoy some mid-air WiFi nearly every time we fly, we're also secretly dreading the day when people are able to start using their cellphone mid-flight as well (does anyone really want to get stuck next to someone yammering away on their cellphone for seven interminable hours?). Well, both of those days might turn out to be the same day thanks to a company called WirelessCabin, which is working on laptop-sized "picocell" base stations that is installed in airplanes and then uses a satellite link to safely connect cellphones to cellular networks and WiFi-enabled laptops to the Internet.
