Of course...and the term is no longer 'cellular' anyway it seems,
they now seem to prefer 'Mobile phones' so I guess it's a moot
point, but ISTM that the aircraft cel system is a helluva lot
closer to the terrestrial cel system than anything else.

No. "Mobile phones" is an entirely separate service, running
in the 152 Mhz and 450 Mhz bands... this is what we had BEFORE
cell phones. :-)

I was a "Mobile phone" dispatcher when I was at university...
1970 - 1974. :-)
