Good. It is bad enough we have to put up with people's dirty feet almost in our faces, but having to listen to 100 inane conversations is sure to set off someone's air rage. It already is bad enough for FAs not getting people to pay attention to pre-flight briefings, imagine them trying to do such over all those phone calls.
In terms of passenger disruption, not clear to me what diff cell service from wifi services like Skype used on the airline's paid network - I'd like to see them all limited to text. The article suggests it's still uncertainty about cell network interference and safety.
I'm seated in 28D; I could call up my buddy in 2B to bring me a scotch and soda. Cell calls in flight sounds like a heck of deal. After to or three times, I probably couldn't text. ;-)
A couple drinks of booze in the wrong passenger sitting next to a yakker, and it'll be mayhem. Hopefully common sense will prevail with regard to this.
Government has TONS of common sense.....
