I don't think anyone wants to silence you. Since you seemed to know a bit about the subject we wanted more information. Your response, which was essentially, "I'm sorry -- I can tell you" was not a very satisfying one.
I am sure you will also know that a GSM and CDMA phone in close proximity will interfere with each other creating a signal at an entirely different frequency – a mutual interference product – that is very close to the band used by the aircraft's GPS and Distance Measuring Equipment (DME).
I did not know that. Thanks for telling us!
