Within days after announcing it might lift a ban on airline cellular phone use, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) was deluged with e-mails and phone calls. The calls were not favorable to the idea.
“We’ve received a couple hundred e-mails from the public, most of whom believe that use of devices that don’t involve talking are fine, but are not looking forward to the possibility of hearing more conversations than they do now,” a spokesperson for the FCC’s wireless bureau told Reuters.
However, those calls don’t officially count.
Formal public comments must be sent in response to a forthcoming Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, expected to be issued soon by the FCC.
