Allowing in-flight cellphone calls raises “serious concerns,” Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., told FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler and Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx in a letter Thursday. “The ability to make a call on one’s cell phone is not worth compromising the safety of a flight,” Rockefeller said in the letter that was released Friday. He “strongly” supports the Transportation Department’s pending consideration of banning such calls as well as the FCC’s proceeding for allowing different stakeholder voices to weigh in.
