Will there soon be no place on Earth that I can get away from the incessant yacking of people using up their all inclusive minutes?
Tens of chattering mindless zombies chanting a mantra of "I'm on the plane."
Gah!

Well, at least people don't make much noise when speaking by their phones. Children on planes are usually much worse irritants though. Tbh, aviacompanies should lauch slightly more expensive child-free flights, thei'll make a fortune on it.

When I flew to Cyprus, I had 4 loud mouth valley girls sat directly behind me. Mobiles will not be as annoying as the sparkly cowboy hat wearing *****s.

It's not an "either/or" choice here. You take those annoying girls and then multiply how annoying they will be if they are freely allowed to use mobile phones as well!

They just don't shut up, so whether its to someone on the phone or each other, it still wont matter. They also seem to travel in packs to.

Wow. Just think, pretty soon people will be able to use their phones on planes.
Maybe they will have a segregated Quiet Zone like on trains, where you are not allowed to use them?

Yeah, all the planes I've flown on have seperate carriages, and you can just walk around between them freely.

They don't have "separate" carriages but there defiantly sub sectioned. I always walk around on the long hall flights.

Politicians finally realized that the repeater towers broadcasts hit the plane regardless of the cellphones being turned on or off huh? Or that 5v transmitters operating on a completely different band can't interfere with the massive, high powered radios used in airplanes?

My understanding from that article was that the planes would have a cell receiver built in which then transmits the calls onto the regular network, so extra service charges would still be there.
"The plan is to install small mobile phone base stations, called pico cells, in aircraft that will be switched on after take-off. The base station generates a bubble of coverage in and around the aircraft."
