Currently, the British Civil Aviation Authorities (CAA) is now allowing on airplanes, wireless communications. This change came about because of the option of the “flight mode” on cell phones that will disable just the radio portion. This new law will then allow the rest of the passengers to hear the intimate details of the lives of other, just like everywhere else in the world.
