FCC to Allow Wireless Access on Planes
isd_glory writes "The FCC has unanimously voted to allow wireless internet connections on airplanes. If everything goes according to plans, airplanes might be offering passengers internet service by as soon as 2006. Furthermore, the FCC is also soliciting comments about the possibility of lifting the in-flight ban on cellphone use. While this could be new profit source for the cash-strapped airlines, it might also be a new way to annoy your neighbor sitting next to you."
Or it will be a reason for them to charge extra for a 'no cell phone class' area of the plane

About as masterful and breathtaking as your spelling?
The unofficial
Since the whiny jerks who think that everyone should modify their behavior to please their over sensiteve personalities are going to cry and whine that "The guy next to me is talking in a public place!!!"
The airlines should just hand out free earplugs. Then the people who are so overly sensitve that human speech irritates them, but are too stupid to bring their own ear plugs, can stop their complaining.
