FCC extends comment period on in-flight cellphone ban

If you're really not looking forward to getting stuck next to someone chattering away on their cellphone during your next crosscountry flight, now's your chance to make your voice heard—the FCC has decided to extend the public comment period on whether or not they should lift the current ban on in-flight cellphone usage until May 27th. Even if both FCC
and the FAA decide to lift the ban, it doesn't mean you'll automatically have to suffer (or force those around you to suffer, as the case may be). It's actually up to each individual airline to decide whether or not they want to allow cellphone use during flights, and plenty of people are proposing that flights have quiet and loud cabins.
