Cell Phones On Airplanes
The DoT is considering allowing cell phone use on passenger planes that have cell service. Right now you can use a phone if you have a web-based phone - Skype or something like that, but they are considering either offering regular cell service on airliners or banning in-flight voice phone communication all together.
I'm against it. I don't want to be crammed in a seat trying to read or get some work done while sitting nest to a woman, hearing an hour long, one-sided conversation about her anal cysts.
Mrs WD thinks it's a great idea. She does need to contact our office often and it would be useful for her. I can see her point. I guess short essential calls could be OK, but long social chats would be a huge annoyance.
Maybe it could be regulated by price. One minute free, $5 a minute after that.
What say you?
