Cellphones in the air: Say it ain’t so, Dubai, France, and Australia!
Here are a few headlines to make you weep:
Air France to test in-flight cellphone use
Gulf Airline to Offer Cellphone Service, With Others in Line
Australian carrier Qantas is planning a three-month trial next year, allowing passengers to use cell phones and handheld devices mid-flight on domestic routes
I love this comment from the Gizmodo post on this new horror:
- Cell phone users on airplanes should do what all people with good manners do when making a call in a crowded space/shared space; step outside.
The FCC is still considering allowing cellphone use on planes under its jurisdiction. For further information, visit http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DOC-255246A1.docfccinfo@fcc.gov.
