What Qantas are going to do is place a mobile phone receiver on the plane, and then relay the signal to a base station. However the catch is the phone receiver will be classed as a non carrier provider, requiring mobiles to be activated for international roaming. Qantas will then place it's fee on top of your normal call rates.
