Coming to an airline near you - mobile phone rage

The news of Europe allowing mobile phones on flights is painful news for frequent fliers. Cramming so many people into a small space (and giving individuals less and less space) and then throwing phones in to the mix is a recipe for disaster. The trains in France offer phone and phone-free zones and in general it works pretty well. The Eurostar between Paris and London is generally terrible with every bumpkin who gets on finding the need to broadcast "the train is leaving" or their sordid personal escapades at screaming level. We all use our mobile phones from time to time but most of us have the common courtesy to leave others in peace and head to the end of the train or speak quietly. Obviously some can't manage such a difficult task and force the trains (and soon planes) to issue strict guidelines.

Mobile phone rage, coming to the skies soon so the airlines can figure out a way to generate revenue since generating revenue from their core business seems to be asking too much.
