kudos:2 | Good, restrict the calls I can imagine anything much more annoying than being stuck next to some dumbass yapping on a phone. |

| That's why I hope they enable DATA but no voice services  Technically they already have data services on some planes, it just needs to be done better. I don't need 10Mbps, 1-2 will be fine for reading some sites and such.
Side note - Granted if you have data you can always do VoIP but then again latency will probably kill that anyways so yeah.  |

Which is 100% of the reason they wont allow it and I agree 100% with this.
It has been shown through many test that no electronic device will interfere with the safe flight of a plane even if used within 3 feet of said equipment. None of us are allowed within 4 to 6 feet any of this equipment while the plane is in flight.
I don't want to be sitting on a plane next to a person or around a group of people that will be yapping the entire time. It is bad enough when I have to hear it on the other forms of public transportation. |

That's not entirely true.
MythBusters did an episode about cell phones and plane instruments. They found phones do not interfere with the newer plane instrumentation, but they included an older VOR receiver in the test and certain phones cause interference in that receiver.
They ended up marking the myth as "plausible" because some aircraft may contain the old equipment.

They later changed their finding to "busted" based on the fact that they didn't test real world conditions.

Voice calls, at least those using cell, are banned by the FCC, not the FAA. |

If you have problems in a movie theater then you need to take those complaints up with the GMs and owners and tell them you want your money back toss those people out. It should not be up to the gov't to regulate something on private property such as that. |

They are, aren't they? I would so buy or build one in a heartbeat but I am afraid of the $11,000 fine and losing my FCC licenses to boot. Not worth it. Damn wireless industry has the right lobbyists to protect their cash cow. |

Haven't been to a theater in years, don't plan on going back if I'm paying for it. I do get free movies on the company dime from time to time (it is their product after all) but movie theaters are for the birds. Too many cell phones, rude people, dirty, sticky floors and cramped up seating. |

Well obviously I'm not gonna use my iPhone when flying say a 1948 swift but in a modern 747 it should be fine. |

Dude, you're nuts. I REALLY want to be prevented from calling emergency services in a hostage situation. Shooting at a cinema in Colorado this summer. Enough said. |

What about emergencies? I am pretty sure the owner of such device would be in a lot of trouble if emergency services could not be contacted because they had their jammer running. |

Show me that proof. cells phones leak into other EM bands than just the voice and data ones.
And, lets have the damn airline employee stop using their Ipads during takeoff and landing if we want to be fair about it. |

LOL, yeah, we need to allow everyone to talk in the movie theater because of insane masked gunmen may show up and no one outside the theater doors hear the gunshots. Meanwhile you act as if the theater itself doesn't have a phone. |

What about them? Every one of these establishments has wireline phones. If there is an emergency, guess what...you can make a call. |
