seriosuly though, you can use a cell phone in a plane, i've gotten signal (not good, and not constant). The issue here is the misconception that cell phones jam nav systems or radar, or anything like that. The real reason they don't want people using cell phones is because they can charge to use the in-plane line. Planes with the new system in place will definitely have higher ticket prices than those without, just so someone can make a buck. Though it should be noted that i do belive this sytem will provide better signal than without it ;)
