In flight entertainment should be provided, but it doesn't necessarily need to be internet or WiFi. You can provide podcasts or built in MP3 players with handsfree , so that people can listen to music. Since installing led screen is costly, I won't suggest having a film/movie database on every seat. And providing free WiFi in flight can be misused and result in far reaching consequences. Just make sure that each airport provide free WiFi and have sufficient bandwidth to support all users.

IN MY OPINION, IT'S TOTALLY WRONG TO ALLOW IN-FLIGHT CONNECTIVITY & SHOULDN'T BE IMPLEMENTED! LET EVERYTHING BE AS IT IS. IT MIGHT BE TOO RISKY TO USE NET IN FLIGHT. LIVES OF ALL THE PASSENGERS'LL BE IN DANGER. THEREFORE KINDLY REVOKE THIS DECISION! ALREADY INTERNET & SOCIAL MEDIA HAS DISTORTED PEOPLE, EVERYBODY IS 24X7 BUSY WITH THEIR PHONES WHICH IS A CAUSE OF CONCERN AND YOU'RE PLANNING TO PROVIDE IN FLIGHT CONNECTIVITY! IT'S NOT A GOOD IDEA! I'M NOT WITH THIS DECISION #TRAI #DoT #MyGov

I believe in flight connectivity may be a security threat. If it is allowed it should be in a controlled manner. One more thing as I was reading newspaper yesterday which says Mobile number authentication may be compromised with valid license or pan card. This should not happen as Those database are not made public for authentication purpose and the IDs may be misused in future to purchase forged sim cards. Instead of this AADHAR database should be made more secure.

मोबाइल नम्बर को आधार नम्बर से जोड़ने के लिये टेलीकॉम कॉमॉनियों द्वारा बार-बार SMS देने के बावजूद भी लोग रुचि नही दिखा रहे हैं। इसका कारण यह है कि महंगी बियोमैट्रिक्स डिवाइस के कारण रिटेलर सिर्फ इजी रिचार्ज करते हैं,ऐसे भी ग्राहक है जिन्हें sms पढ़ना नही आता है। सरकार को चाहिये कि ऐसी परिस्थितियों से निपटने के लिए ग्राहक को या वैसे रिटेलर जिनके पास ekyc डिवाइस नही है,उन्हें या ग्राहक को अपने मोबाइल से आधार नम्बर टाईप करके किसी शॉर्ट कोड के माध्यम से लिंक करने की सुविधा दी जाये ।
