FCC to Allow Wireless Access on Planes

“WASHINGTON – Passengers taking to the skies for U.S. flights could be checking e-mail and surfing the Web through high-speed Internet connections in a couple of years. And the day when travelers can chat away on cell phones while in flight might not be far behind.”

Internet access is very interesting to me, that is something I would very much like to have. Imagine being able to blog from 36,000 miles above.

But cellphone conversations, that does not excite me. I have nightmares of being stuck between and behind endless conversations that hold no interest to me. And if you consider how many times people yell so that the person on the other side can hear them, oy. This has potential for violence.

    I’m with you – for some reason people feel they need to SCREAM into cell phones on the GROUND – can you imagine in the air!?
    I shudder to think of it!
