Survey against cellphones on planes: "Survey against cellphones on planes
Frazzled nerves from constant phone chatter, trouble hearing emergency announcements, increased 'air rage' - all of these were identified by air travelers as good reasons for the USA's government to retain the current prohibition against airborne cell phone use, according to a new poll.
Sixty-three percent of the survey participants wanted to keep cell phone restrictions in place, while only 21 percent said it's time to let people talk on their phones during flights, survey results showed.
The poll, sponsored by the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA and the National Consumers League, was conducted as the Federal Communications Commission moves ahead with a rule-making process aimed at lifting its ban on cell phones and other portable electronic devices in the air."
I guess the main problem would be one of billing - ITMS isn't going to be cheap anyway. The main difference is in places like USA and Russia. I think in terms of European travel and cheap flights to other countries - hey no food, cramped seats and cheap flights mobile phone use will increase travel on airlines - you know you can book a hotel via WAP/GPRS or talk to friends/family you're going to meet. If there's a problem, like on a cramped train - you tell them don't you? Trouble with bad language on the phone - thats for cabin staff to deal with right?
