Research and empirical evidence over the past five years, however, has consistently debunked these concerns, with hundreds of wireless-equipped passenger planes now flying each day without incident. The European Union’s Aviation Safety Agency formally approved an air-to-ground cellular communications system called OnAir last year.
“As long as the United States maintains its current policy banning cellular antennas from being used on jets, it is allowing other countries to leap ahead with in-flight productivity, while facing mounting evidence that there is no safety benefit to passengers,” commented Freesky’s chief analyst, David Gross, in a statement.
It's silly - I agree.
