We have air-to-ground contact that is through satellite and other means that we contract ourselves with our own vendor or group of vendors as the aircraft moves through distances -- which has nothing to do with the FAA. We use it to coordinate with our ops managers -- mundane airline business like late arrivals, catering needs, a drunk passenger, that the aft lavatory is getting stinky, or getting a wet cleanup of the vomit in seat 4D, etc. for the next arrival.
