FCC: 'No' to Cell Phones on Planes

An AP newswire article, via PhysOrg.com, reports that:

The Federal Communications Commission has officially grounded the idea of allowing airline passengers to use cellular telephones while in flight.

Existing rules require cellular phones to be turned off once an aircraft leaves the ground in order to avoid interfering with cellular network systems on the ground. The agency began examining the issue in December 2004.

Thank goodness.
