I haven't figured out why some cell phone companies have not set aside a

of their frequencies, (PCS, of course aren't regulated) aim a few widely
spaced antennae upwards, and market it as a airphone uplink.

First off, PCS *is* regulated. They'd have to get a license to transmit
over
those frequencies from ground to air.

I understand that is actually up for debate, since PCS operates on a
different band than the rest of cellular, and the regs were written
regulating those cellular bands. I really didn't want to bring up that
whole debate, again.

I have no doubt that there would be some regulations and red tape to cut
through, but it seems like there is a market to be served, the extra
bandwidth is there, and that it should be possible.
