Yes On Phones, No On Talking: Poll

Posted May 23, 08 4:30 PM CDT in Technology 

(Newser) – Americans want wireless service on airplanes, but not voice calls, PC World reports. A survey finds 60% would use silent features like texting and email, but 74% think that no matter what, conversations shouldn’t be allowed. Americans "don't want to be forced to listen to the conversation of the passenger sitting next to them," a pollster says.
