Ground Control to Major Tom

Soon everyone will be able to phone Major Tom if the FCC decides to lift the ban on inflight cell phone usage. Major airlines are lobbying for a lift to the ban as a way to increase sales. They feel that the extra utility of inflight internet and cell phone will attract a larger market of customers. I think this is a great idea, although I am hesitant to think about what it would be like sitting inbetween two people chattering away on their cellphones. That is what they make headphones for. In the future you may be able to experience the friendly skies from the comfort of your home.
