Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., a senior member of the House Transportation Committee, successfully advanced a bill to prohibit passengers from making mobile phone calls during flights.

On July 31, the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee passed the Halting Airplane Noise to Give Us Peace (Hang Up) Act, which would make the FAA ban on mobile voice communications during flights permanent.

InformationWeek:

"The ban would have certain exemptions for members of the flight crew as well as law enforcement officers. Additionally, passengers would still be able to access in-flight Wi-Fi, as well as send text messages and e-mails as those services become available."

The Hang Up Act now awaits a vote from the full House of Representatives.

Will the U.S. House of Representatives pass the Hang Up Act this year?
