For a little while now, The Daily Telegraph in London has been running an online petition campaigning to keep flights mobile-free.

I would actually like to be able to get a data connection so that I could send and receive email messages; however I wouldn’t like it to be automatic. I’d like to be able to deliberately switch on the facility, rather than be granted it automatically.

Of course, it goes without saying, sitting next to some idiot blabbering that ‘they’re on the plane’ would be shocking. So in that sense, I definitely support the Telegraph’s campaign.
