The one thing I don't understand is why people would go the VoIP or cable phone route. You lose both the mobility of a cell phone and the bullet-proof reliability of POTS service. To each their own I suppose. Simple enough. I make a lot of international calls, and rates on all cell providers are ridiculous. However, even without this argument, it does make a lot of sense. E.g. I get the pre-paid plan for a cell phone at the 5$ per month per phone, and use it only for emergencies. And I get the vonage unlimited plan for 25$ a month. Between me and my wife, we spend 35$ a month for phone costs and can have unlimited calls everywhere in the US, CA, UK, IT, FR, IR and ES. If only they would include HR in the flat-rate list...:-)

OK, so I guess you only have to ban blind and/or deaf passengers.
