题目内容：

Domestic airline passengers will be able to make phone calls and send e-mails from the sky from next year, a local carrier has said.

Shenzhen Airlines said on Monday it has signed an agreement with Geneva-based On-Air to provide passengers with in-flight communications services on all its planes by the end of 2009. The service will be introduced on three aircraft ahead of the 2008 Olympics, on two routes----from Shenzhen to Beijing and Shenzhen to Shanghai, the airline said.

Passengers will be able to use their own electronic devices to send e-mails and short messages, make calls and surf the Internet, it said. The service is expected to be of particular interest to business travelers.

According to a survey at the end of last year, China had 4.55 million mobile-phone subscribers. Ninety-three percent of those polled said they wished they could send and receive e-mails and messages while on a plane.

Despite the introduction of the new service, passengers will still be prevented from using t

heir cell pho nes and laptops when the plane is taking off and landing, or flying at less than 3,000 m above sea level, the official said.

The official said the new service would not lead to an increase in ticket prices, but users of Chinese mobile-phone services will be charged the international roaming rate for any calls made from the sky.

Shenzhen Airlines is the first Chinese carrier to provide such in-flight communications services. Its president, Li Kun, said installing the facilities will cost 4.5 million yuan ($596,000) per aircraft. However, the project still needs to be approved by the Civil Aviation Administration of China, a source said.
