Calling the current ban on the use of cellphones during airline flights "outdated and restrictive," the new head of the Federal Communications Commission is proposing a change that would allow travelers to make phone calls as they fly on jetliners in the U.S.
Here's a statement from FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler that was released Thursday:
"Today, we circulated a proposal to expand consumer access and choice for in-flight mobile broadband. Modern technologies can deliver mobile services in the air safely and reliably, and the time is right to review our outdated and restrictive rules. I look forward to working closely with my colleagues, the FAA, and the airline industry on this review of new mobile opportunities for consumers."
