Feds move on wireless Web, cell phones in flight

OK, and your point is?: In your original post, you said,

"Anyone care to explain how all these passengers were using those phones when they are just introducing this capability now in 2004???"

I was just pointing out that the 'capability' has always been there, but the airlines didn't allow passengers to use cell phones while in flight. Why is that? Who knows? The airlines claim it is to prevent interference with the planes's electronic systems.

So how does that fit into your conspiracy theory? You basically used the idea that 'they' are just now developing the technology for cell phones to be used on planes, and that it therefore supports your claim of government conspiracy. But since cell phones could always be used on planes, your theory isn't supported. So why do YOU think cell phones weren't allowed?
