Airplane cell phone calls won’t be allowed in US any time soon
A 2013 proposal to allow cell phone calls during airplane flights will be thrown out by the Federal Communications Commission. The FCC prohibited in-flight phone calls in 1991 because of concerns about interference with wireless networks on the ground. Advances in technology have eliminated those concerns, but tech hasn't changed the fact that in-flight phone calls could be annoying to fellow passengers.

About now United will be wishing cell phones were all banned from aircraft.
Lol. Maybe start by banning cameras (all types) to protect their "customers "privacy.
and cover their owner equity.
You got it.
Yeah... Everyone always hoping to catch someone screwing up and then throw things out of proportion...
That's for sure. Regardless of who is in the right, all I got from the video is someone too dumb to understand you aren't going to win against several officers by disobeying them. You are getting off the plane.
But he will win, and the video and the other passengers reactions will help him. The biggest customer relations flub of the year and we aren't out of April yet. The other airlines are watching this carefully and likely making sure such a thing NEVER happens on one of their flights.
I'd risk a bloody nose for the millions this guy will get.

Don't count on it. Remember, it's the cops drug his ass, not the airline.
Airline is ultimately responsible for this brutal act. I am sure the "cops" didn't just show up on their own.
The captain is the highest authority in the air. On the ground maybe, don't know the regulations that govern airplanes still connected to ground facilities.
Not really. They don't tell cops what to do. We'll see.
all this for unpaid tax write-off crew seats!
He will win and United plus the cop will lose.
Patent abuse of power by all involved with no respect for human rights.
