Well the FAA has already approved cell phones on an AA test flight equipped with the special pico-cell on board. So yes, I am absolutely equating these wireless devices with cell phones, speaking as a wireless engineer.

If you want to debate the social issues surrounding cell phones, take it to Omni. This is Travel Technology.
