What ever happened with Ryanair's plans to do something like that, BTW?

There are some issues to do with what "country" you appear to be
"roaming in" when aboard the aircraft (and hence how much the calls
cost), and whether OFCOM is happy that you switch from (eg) UK to that
"country" when you get 10 miles offshore, or when the wheels leave the
runway.

I haven't heard anything recently about how/if/when this will be
resolved.
