Re: Learn To Behave

So a six hour flight with business men/women barking in to their cell phones all around is OK?

VOIP is not blocked becuase of the packets it uses, it's blocked becuase it's intollerable, and would likely cuase riots, and mass exodus of cusotmers.

Re: Learn To Behave

Why not have a "VOIP section" in the back of the plane for a few extra bucks?

Besides, who doesn't have headphones nowadays to pass the time on flights?

Yeah. That worked pretty well back when smoking was permitted on planes. The smoke hit the imaginary wall and prevented the non-smoking section from having to breath in the smoke. I'm sure that same wall will be just as effective for people talking on their cellVOIP phones.

Besides, who doesn't have headphones nowadays to pass the time on flights?
Most phone conversations are two way, so while headphones would prevent the speaker's sound from being broadcast around the cabin, it would do little to prevent the "can you hear me Can you here me CAN YOU HEAR ME" conversation.
