What really makes me mad is that Cingular is really opposed to lifting the ban because they are scared of what that might do to their terrestial cellular network which may go crazy with people switching cells every minute becuase they are in the air (the system probably won't handle this well) not becuase they are worried that talking on the airplane will be annoying to other people. What is really annoying is that they are positioning this as if they are concerened about other people while they are really only concerened about themseleves.

I imagine a burst transmission (such as a text message) would be significantly less of a problem then a sustained connection (such as a phone call). But it's a moot point because AFAIK lifting of the ban is to be accompanied with installing a microcell on the plane so that the phones won't transmit with enough power to interfere with cells on the ground. -- Beagles really should come in convienent 10 packs.
