Will passengers tolerate other passengers who spend a long transcontinental flight on their IP phone gabbing away while others are trying to sleep or read? Will the airlines be forced to set up "quietcabins" much in the same way Amtrak has "quiet cars" on their northeastern
routes? How long before we see the first noise-canceling IP phone whichwill eliminate background and engine noise to allow for quiet phone calls
from airplanes?
