Cellular Telephone Basics http://www.privateline.com/Cellbasics/cellphonesairlines.html "Cell phones transmit in nearly straight lines. From an airplane a cell phone can connect to nearly any cell site in view below, causing much turmoil, especially with a jet moving 500 miles an hour, passing by one cell after another far more quickly than the systems were designed for." "The cell-phone industry says ...it is physically impossible to construct cell-phone towers to accommodate signals traveling 600 miles per hour at 33,000 feet in the air." I've noticed that I am not allowed to use my cell phone in airplanes or in hospitals. Why are these prohibitions in place? http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/question230.htm
