Bad reception awaits in-flight phones
From crying babies to low-quality catering, flying is full of irritations, but these may all soon be eclipsed by the introduction of in-flight cell phones.
A new survey has found that the majority of business travelers are opposed to allowing cell phone use on board aircraft, doubtless quaking at the prospect of a red-eye ruined by ring tones and chatter.
Until now, most airlines have outlawed phone use, claiming possible interference with aircraft electronics.
The ban also prevents onboard cell phones disrupting communications on the ground as they sweep through regionalized networks at high speed.
