The South African Civil Aviation Authority is paving the way for in-flight Internet access

The South African Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has approved Wi-Fi services on South African flights, Techcentral is reporting.
According to the article, the Civil Aviation Authority has approved an application by hot spot provider WirelessG to install Wi-Fi equipment in commercial aircrafts in South Africa.
The service will allow the use of any Wi-Fi enabled device in-flight. Dual-mode devices using GSM for mobile communication must still be switched off, but the CAA may allow the airlines equipped with the in-flight Wi-Fi technology to accommodate the use of Wi-Fi-only with supported phones.
