The use of cellphones for marine comms is certainly NOT becoming the norm. Calling 911 on your cellphone if your boat is in trouble is the worst thing you can do. A marine radio on the energency channel is more likely to get several nearby boats, AND the Coast Guard, all in one shot. Also allows them to triangulate your position using off-the-shelf RF direction finders. Ask any coastie or freighter/tanker captain/crew, they prefer marine radio.
