Why the Opposition to mobile phone chat on planes in UK compared to the US

Opposition to mobile phone chat on planes in UK- Good or Bad


Our Mobile phones are so personal and keeps us all connected.

 A new proposal to allow mobile phone calls during commercial flights from the UK to the US has met opposition.



The US Federal Communications Commission may suggest that passengers should be allowed to make calls once a plane reaches as high as 10,000 feet.

Majority believes it would "make an already uncomfortable travel experience exponentially worse" for economy class users

Normal mobile phones and tablets would not be allowed during take-off and landing.

But the rule change would be the latest relaxation of guidelines on device use at airports and on aircraft flying to the US.

Last month the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said it would permit passengers to use gadgets such as tablet computers and e-readers during take-off and landing.

That decision was made after a review committee determined that most commercial aircraft can tolerate radio interference signals from such devices which is good news to some.

The technological ability to make calls in the air has been possible for some time, but it has not been widely adopted, mostly because of regulations not being updated.

Virgin Atlantic announced it would allow passengers to make calls on its flights between London and New York. However, calls would have to be ended within 250 miles of US airspace.

"Modern technologies can deliver mobile services in the air safely and reliably, and the time is right to review our outdated and restrictive rules," he said in a statement.

He heralded "new mobile opportunities for consumers".
"During flights, passengers are forced into a restricted space, often for long periods," the petition reads.

"Forcing them to listen to the inane, loud, private, personal conversations of a stranger is perhaps the worst idea the FCC has come up with to date.
