House Committee Approves Bill Banning In-Flight Phone Calls
"U.S. House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee has approved a bill that would ban voice calls from mobile devices on airplanes. The legislation, sponsored by Rep. Bill Shuster (R-PA), now goes to the full House of Representatives for a vote. Similar efforts are underway in the Senate. There was no opposition to Shuster's bill in the House committee, and the FCC received aflood of support for such a measure when they asked for public comment."...Or they could just let each airline decide, let the market decide, and there could be choice for customers.
