This is an admission that they did not have this technology available on 911. The phones on board can make air to land calls, but they are not cell phones. I saw a study by a professor that said it was impossible to make a cell phone call above a few thousand feet, even though the 911 Commission said they occurred. Plus no one was able to produce a bill for the all of the alleged cell phone calls.
This proves there were NO Cell Phone Calls From Hijacked 911 Airliners and that the experts were right... cell phone calls on planes bounce all over the place!! So the alleged cell phone calls on Flight 93 were faked.

9-11: 911 cell phone calls impossible
Posted by: electrostatic on Oct 02, 2003 - 05:27 PM
An experiment was conducted to see if cell phones can work in airplanes. The experiment found that the percent of success rate of contact was:
89% at 2,000 feet
44% at 4,000 feet
30% at 6,000 feet
9% at 8,000 feet
Flight 93 was flying at 35,000 feet.
A connection would have been impossible.

from which the following is snipped:
When you make a cell phone call, the first thing that happens is that your cell phone needs to contact a transponder.
Your cell phone has a max transmit power of five watts, three watts is actually the norm.
If an aircraft is going five hundred miles an hour, your cell phone will not be able to 1. Contact a tower, 2. Tell the tower who you are, and who your provider is, 3. Tell the tower what mode it wants to communicate with, and 4. Establish that it is in a roaming area before it passes out of a five watt range.
This procedure, called an electronic handshake, takes approximately 45 seconds for a cell phone to complete upon initial power up in a roaming area because neither the cell phone or cell transponder knows where that phone is and what mode it uses when it is turned on.
At 500 miles an hour, the aircraft will travel three times the range of a cell phone's five watt transmitter before this handshaking can occur.
Though it is sometimes possible to connect during takeoff and landing, under the situation that was claimed the calls were impossible. The calls from the airplane were faked, no if's or buts.

So CNN's story was a complete hoax
CNN.com - Hijacked passenger called 911 on cell phone - September 11, 2001
SHANKSVILLE, Pennsylvania (AP) -- A passenger on United Airlines Flight 93 called on his cell phone from a locked bathroom and delivered a chilling message.
"We are being hijacked, we are being hijacked!" Minutes later the jetliner crashed in western Pennsylvania with 45 people aboard, the last of four closely timed terror attacks across the country.
SNIP...
Minutes before the 10 a.m. crash, an emergency dispatcher in Pennsylvania received a cell phone call from a man who said he was a passenger locked in a bathroom aboard United Flight 93. The man repeatedly said the call was not a hoax, said dispatch supervisor Glenn Cramer in neighboring Westmoreland County.
"We are being hijacked, we are being hijacked!" Cramer quoted the man from a transcript of the call.
The man told dispatchers the plane "was going down. He heard some sort of explosion and saw white smoke coming from the plane and we lost contact with him," Cramer said.

Now comes this.....The proof that it was all a lie....
******************************************************
Weren't some passengers on the plane which "crashed" into the Pentagon making calls (Barbara Olsen called her husband, Ted Olsen, Solicitor General of the United States 2-3 times) and other passengers on other flights were also calling friends and relatives?

In-flight cell phones 'worked great' in test
By Dan Reed, USA TODAY
The race is on to enable airline passengers to make and receive cell phone calls in flight.
Qualcomm Inc. chief executive Irwin Jacobs right, makes a call from an American Airlines jet as Monte Ford, left, listens in.
Cell phone company Qualcomm (QCOM) has teamed with American Airlines (AMR) to develop satellite-based air-to-ground cellular service. Several smaller companies are working on rival systems. In-flight cell service could be introduced within two years and become commonplace within four, developers believe.
SNIP...
"The Qualcomm-American partnership covers development and testing. If the technology and business models work, Qualcomm could sell it to other airlines as well. And American, the world's largest airline, could decide to use another system on its planes.
Even competitors liked the test flight. Bill Peltola, vice president of marketing at rival AirCell in Louisville, Colo., says the flight "demonstrated the safe use of cell phones in flight ... and that's good for our industry.
"There are still hurdles. Technical bugs need to be worked out. The FCC must be convinced that the new technology won't disrupt cell systems on the ground. And the FAA, airline safety watchdogs and pilots' groups must be convinced the calls won't interfere with aircraft systems and instruments.
Just as important, airline managers and their technology partners must come up with a business model that produces revenue for both. Strong demand But there's little doubt that demand for in-flight cell service is strong.
SNIP...
Customers could pay by entering their credit card numbers when they place a call, or they could see the charges added to their monthly cell phone bills. Those who plan on making lots of air-to-ground calls might not even pay by the minute. AirCell is talking with cell service companies about selling them huge blocks of air-to-ground talk time. The cell companies could resell the time to their customers as part of a bundle of premium services.Sky Way Aircraft of Clearwater, Fla., is developing technology for delivering broadband communications and entertainment services to airline passengers via cell phones, laptops or handheld devices. It says research suggests that revenue from air-to-ground and ground-to-air communications could top $8 billion by 2007.
Competing technologies Qualcomm's satellite-based system uses a notebook computer-sized device called a "Pico cell" inside the airplane to act like a small cellular tower, managing separate signals. The signals then will be beamed to a satellite for distribution to ground networks.The Sky Way and AirCell systems work much the same way, only the signals are beamed from the plane to ground towers instead of satellites.Qualcomm says its satellite system will be more reliable and provide better transmission quality. The ground tower system developers say their services will be cheaper, with more call capacity. Signal delay is also an issue with satellite-based systems.
On last week's test flight, callers reported about a 1-second delay, what TV news watchers witness when an anchorman in New York talks via satellite with a reporter in Afghanistan. Also, the tested system topped out at 14 simultaneous calls.
"The technology is growing rapidly," American's Ford says. "Just a few months ago the limit was four calls at once. By the time this comes to market, the capacity will be where it needs to be.
"A moneymaker? Ultimately, Garton says, the success of in-flight cell phones will depend on whether airlines and their telecommunications partners each can come up with a way to make money from the venture. Garton says the airlines should get a small piece of the service fee, just as they get a payment when customers use the Wi-Fi service in their airport clubs. Says Garton: "The industry has to come up with a business model that will work for us, and be priced right for the passengers. I haven't seen that yet."

"The race is on to enable airline passengers to make and receive cell phone calls in flight." But, but, but, the US gummint said the passengers on those 9-11 flights were making cell phone calls to the ground!
What race? You mean passengers can not use cell phones to call their relatives?
What about 911, oh yeah I guess that was another fabrication of our secret govenment.
