I also liked this little tidbit...

QUOTE

And despite the ban on cell phone use during flights, the researchers
discovered that on average one to four cell phone calls are made from
every commercial flight in the northeast United States.

Some are even made during critical flight times, such as the climb
after takeoff or the final approach.

The latter quote is most interesting because I've never had or heard of
a cell phone that even worked above about 3000'AGL...

You may not be able to _use_ the cell phone to make a call, but when
it is on, it is still transmitting in an attempt to connect to a cell.
It's those transmissions that would be causing the interference.
