IFC may be a good idea to hear but being practical it has flaws it may disturb the person sitting next to them and create lot of disturbance and noise pollution and in domestic flight it already take 1-3 hour for to takeoff and land so its not necessary

In respect to facilities to be given in In Flight connectivity for various telecom services is very goods concept, but, safety and security in flight is very important, hence, there should be kept proper control on the facilities to be given to people in flight, it should not be missed use to harm the people, the procedure for allocation of spectrum and other system to tele-operator should be transperent, all the procedure of application should be online, it will increase the earning,best wishes

In flight connectivity can be a good proposal but it should only be encouraged for long duration flights. Giving this facility in short duration flights of 2to3 hours is not very necessary.

In-Flight connectivity (IFC) is a good proposal but, serious and in-depth considerations need to be carried out about the aspect of security and safety implications of such a proposal. Security risks and threats need to be taken into account while such a proposal is being considered. A pilot project for a period of 6 months may be considered for making a practical assessment of this proposal of IFC. Mock drills could be part of such assessments. Periodical security drills should be conducted.

IFC will be beneficial because many passengers need to be connected with outside world due to serious commitments. The assent of a General Manager is necessary to sign a deal but that can not be conveyed in a long flight which leads to procrastination. The signal to be used in IFC must never interfere with that used for operation of the aircraft. Fees must be reasonable. Allocation may be made equal for all in a cabin or proportional to ticket cost. A wide spectrum is good for communication.
