Wireless networks and cellular modems are examples of devices
that use wireless communication. Such devices may be restricted

airplane. If in doubt, be sure to ask for authorization before
turning on your notebook wireless networking.
In Italy, Singapore, and possibly other countries, you may be
required to purchase a license before using the wireless function.
