The phone system at Swarthmore a PBX system; makes it a little harder to have a dial-up connection. (Not quite impossible, I know, but a definite hassle to students who wear T-shirts that bear the college logo and the slogan "Guilt Without Sex".)

Here in the US, or rather, the northeast, Amtrak has also implemented Quiet Car service on most trains serving the Boston-NYC-DC Northeast Corridor. No cell phone use is permitted in the Quiet Car, usually the first coach class car from the front.
I've ridden in the quiet car, and the rules are adhered to, which allowed me an extended period of calm, which I admit I used to sleep most of the way between Philadelphia and New York.
An airplane, unfortunately, does not offer enough space or enough freedom for people to sort themselves into cell phone users and non-users. Chalk it up to the relative merits (and lack thereof) of the aeroplane as a means of travel.

I plan to invent a profession that leeches off lawyers! It already exists; it's called tax accountancy.
