Phones On A Plane?

by Andrew Sparrow on January 16, 2007

Currently, the FAA and FCC do not allow for the use of cellphones on planes. However, this ban might be disappearing soon, as these two agencies are currently studying cellphone use on planes and considering reversing their policy.

Cellphones have already been allowed on Dubai-based airline Emirates, which has flights to New York, starting next month. It is currently estimated that at least four cellphones are left on per flight, and one is used per flights. If cellphones are allowed on planes, those who have modem capabilities would be able to surf the web at 30,000 feet.
