Cellphones on Planes - NYTimes.com Re "Want Calls on Planes? You'll Need to Speak Up," by Nick Bilton (Disruptions column, Dec. 2): I foresee the future of cellphone calling on airlines in the United States. First, cellphones will be permitted. Second, there will be a substantial charge to use the system in flight. Third, the airlines will charge a premium to sit in a section of the plane that does not allow calling. This will become a revenue generator.
