If the cell sites are above aircraft, the presumed problems with the

right?

AFAIK, the FCC ban is specifically on the cellular 900 MHz band.
There's a separate FCC document on rules for the PCS band at 1.8 - 1.9
GHz and AIRC, there was no corresponding prohibition in the latter
document.



Why is the use of cell phones illegal while flying in a aircraft anyway??
