Cellphones on Airplanes
We have long suspected that the commercial airlines' long-standing assertion that passengers' cellphone use during flights interferes with planes' navigation equipment is bogus, and a story in today's New York Times appears to confirm that we were right. The article states "The issue for aviation safety is that planes navigate by way of faint radio signals from the ground and from satellites. These are on frequencies different from the ones authorized for cellphone use." The Times goes on to describe how airlines continue to resist cellphone use on planes anyway, now citing the "social implications" of allowing passengers to make calls on their cellphones. Interestingly, this concern has never prohibited airlines from making on board phone service available via those horridly expensive seat back-mounted phones. So what is the real deal here -- are airlines really just protecting a revenue source? Let us know what you think, via email or by posting a comment below.
