One more thing about cellphones at cruising altitude - as an engineer  
I do not recommend doing it.  However, thank god it was not blocked by  
a ground-based "service provider" when many people used their  
cellphones from the key planes on 9/11.

Putting control in charge of an unthinking policy implemented  
(apparently) to maximize profits for the operator, but justified by  
whining about rude behavior among seatmates and shyness about  
asserting one's rights (Esbin's ridiculous justification) would have  
eliminated an important emergency option that in that case at least,  
saved lives. (NOT ENOUGH).

Let's stop the PFF pandering and bullshit.
