Like many other Boston-based technology workers, today I will start my week by flying to San Francisco. My thanks go to Mike Elgan for calling the FAA and the FCC out on the carpet. Given that "240 million of us pay... more than a quarter of a trillion dollars annually for airplane tickets," they are failing to make our planes safe and to maximize the quality of our electronic communications. What do we want? 1) Install low-cost WiFi on all passenger jet airplanes, 2) Shield all airplanes from gadget interference, and 3) Ban cell phones forever.
