Topic	FCC Chairman Wants to Keep Ban on In-Flight Cellphone Calls
Superlinkbro 05/22/17 10:13:59 AM #1:	http://www.nbcnews.com/tech/gadgets/fcc-chairman-wants-keep-ban-flight-cellphone-calls-n744976 A key federal regulator wants to ditch a plan that would have allowed air travelers to make in-flight cellphone calls, saying the move is a win for Americans who "value a moment of quiet at 30,000 feet." The Federal Communications Commission had considered lifting a ban on high-altitude calls, suggesting in a 2013 proposal that the policy was "outdated." But the current chairman of the agency announced Monday he would stop that plan from taking off, leaving in place rules that date back to the early 1990s. "I do not believe that moving forward with this plan is in the public interest," new FCC Chairman Ajit Pai said in a statement Monday. "Taking it off the table permanently will be a victory for Americans across the country who, like me, value a moment of quiet at 30,000 feet." I think this is awesome. All I would do on a plane is sleep. Why would someone even need to make a phone call on a plane anyway? --- Basically the internet: https://youtu.be/M5Yqav2Juis <cite>Superlinkbro posted [p:879580842] in FCC Chairm...
