Not only that, the EU has now mandated that all planes support 5G on passengers' phones directly.

No idea how that would work, and I imagine airlines would push back against this (how would they capitalize on this without raising ticket prices?), but it would be awesome if this happens.

The deadline for implementation has passed, all the planes had to have the equipment added to support it. I'm not sure if any airlines have turned on the service yet though.
