(VIdeo) Why Can't You Use Phones on Planes?

Who in the H_____ want to hear someone talking about something they could care less about at the top of there lungs because they think that to use a cell phone one has to talk louder than normal. It is going to get very uncomfortable on AC with the use of phones along with those who are not wearing headsets to use there kindles and other devices.
AMEN.
Don't know about your Kindle, but mine doesn't make a peep. Doesn't "click" when I move to the next page - nothing. So let's not get after innocent devices, Boyd.
Kindle Fire is more of a full function tablet, so it can and does make noise.
I've flown about 75,000 miles this year and I have not heard one computer, kindle, or any electronic device on a plane.
How nice to read a bit of sanity. Your point is exactly why I said way earlier - it seems there's much ado about nothing. A lot of folks seem disturbed about something that hasn't even happened.
The real reason you can't use (voice) a mobile phone on aircraft without a repeater/sat relay has almost nothing to do with the FAA, as it's an FCC rule. Mobile phones are classified as "Ground Mobile Radio Service" and once you're above 150 feet, you're no longer ground mobile.
