Mobile Phone Airplane Mode October 13th, 2007
Is there a standard to which mobile phone manufacturers adhere when providing you the "Airplane Mode" status? Well evidently not according to the ZD Net article "Clueless flight attendant to passenger: Turn off that iPhone movie NOW!".
AND the truth is that flight attendants and their airline companies are nowhere briefed well enough on what technologies are available today and how they work.
You may be asked to turn off your mobile telephone even if you are in "Airplane Mode" because there is no standard for such and your airline/attendant may not be briefed well enough to understand what your technology is and how it can be safely used in the air.
