FCC nixes proposal that would’ve allowed cellphone calls on planes

TechCrunch:

FCC Chairman Ajit Pai: “I stand with airline pilots, flight attendants, and America’s flying public against the FCC’s ill-conceived 2013 plan to allow people to make cellphone calls on planes. I do not believe that moving forward with this plan is in the public interest. Taking it off the table permanently will be a victory for Americans across the country who, like me, value a moment of quiet at 30,000 feet.”

I am unreasonably happy over this decision.

  1. Let’s ban crying babies and people talking as well! :/. God I hate police states. If you don’t want to hear people talking then wear noise cancelling headphones, but don’t tell me when and where I can talk!!! If it was a safety issue that’s one thing, but this is not the reason they gave.

  2. We tell people where and when they can talk all the time. By your logic, I could say, “if you want to talk on the phone, then don’t fly”.

  3. hearing a one-sided conversation next to your ear is much more annoying than hearing two people converse. this has been proven — the brain constantly tries to figure out whats missing and it eats up more CPU cycles because of it.

  4. I’m sure this decision is all about valuing quiet and not about the value of a dollar or 12. Online wifi anyone?

  5. Google is paying 97$ per hour! Work for few hours and have longer with friends & family! !mj252d:

  6. I’m okay with banning crying babies as well as annoying kids. Can we get the Candy Man from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang to come in and haul them out? That guy really scared me when I was a kid…
