Facing the horror of in-flight phone calls, Americans beg the feds for help

Wired:

The flying experience feels like it gets crummier all the time, and people trudge through it. But, it seems, other passengers’ phone calls would fly right past the breaking point, and keep on going.

In a bid to preserve sanity, the federal Department of Transportation is considering a ban on in-air calls using WiFi, and invited the public to share their thoughts. And boy did they: Over 8,000 of people logged on and left comments before the consultation ended Monday. And probably no surprise to anyone: The American people are gaga for this travel-related ban.

I really hope the federal Department of Transportation institutes a ban on in-air calls using WiFi. As the article points out, flying is already awful enough without have to listen to one-way conversations at 30,000 feet.
