Why no "situational awareness" (collision avoidance) apps forcell phones?
I believe the FCC rule (in the US) is to NOT make/receive calls from a cellphone in the air. Major reason is potential swamping of multiple cell towers from a single phone, thus maybe blocking other calls.
Data through the same system uses quite a bit less bandwidth. At least, that is my understanding.
