Title: Use of Mobile Wireless Devices for Voice Calls on Aircraft
Abstract: The Department of Transportation (DOT or Department) is seeking comment on the effects and implications of adopting a rule to restrict voice communications on passengers' mobile wireless devices on flights within, to, and from the United States. Under the Department's aviation consumer protection authority, we are seeking comment on whether voice calls on aircraft constitute an unfair practice to consumers pursuant to 49 U.S.C. section 41712, and/or are inconsistent with adequate air transportation pursuant to 49 U.S.C. section 41702, and if so, whether such calls should e banned or restricted (e.g., not allow voice calls at night time).
