Airplane cell phone calls won’t be allowed in US any time soon
A 2013 proposal to allow cell phone calls during airplane flights will be thrown out by the Federal Communications Commission. The FCC prohibited in-flight phone calls in 1991 because of concerns about interference with wireless networks on the ground. Advances in technology have eliminated those concerns, but tech hasn't changed the fact that in-flight phone calls could be annoying to fellow passengers.

I remember a long time ago, I used to use my laptop and headphones to Watch "Air Crash Investigation" ... Great program... Fun to watch on a plane LOL! :)
For awhile in the 90's seat backs had phones you could swipe your credit card in to make calls.
This kinda follows along the same lines as "child-free" zones, and now "phone-free" zones.
Guessing the next will be "paying-passenger-free" zones.

I'm happy to hear this. I've been on a flight where one woman was constantly yaking to her friend. Although I think her friend was annoyed as well keep those type of people off an enclosed space. Cell phones would be more annoying.
It's the annoyance factor rather than flight safety that is more relevant now that we have already determined that cells don't impact flights. Can you imagine sitting next to someone yapping on their cellphone for hours? Would want to make you throw them off airplane!
good...
