Is that the only reason why the FCC and Federal Aviation Administration have banned cell phone use on planes?
There is another reason why the FCC isn’t keen on allowing people to chat on cell phones while flying. The problem is that when cell phones are used in flight they are traveling rapidly over hundreds if not thousands of cell phone towers. As the plane flies over these towers, the cell phones inside the plane are connecting and disconnecting from various cell towers much faster than was intended. The rapid signal hand-off from tower to tower of hundreds or thousands of cell phones flying overhead could disrupt service on the ground, affecting millions of cellular customers.
