[comp.dcom.telecom] Airfone

All this talk about Airphone reminded me.  

Does anyone remember the ads JS&A or DAK or someone once had about a
portable home phone (the kind with a base station) that would be
compatible with "soon to be available" airplane phones?  Instead of
leaving your credit card as collateral and bringing the "public" phone
back to your seat, you would pull you private copy from under the seat
in front of you.

Whatever happened to the brave/foolish souls who bought it?  Are they
now happily phoning without marching up and down the aisle first, or
are they still waiting for that system to catch on?
