“kids already talk on flights, so VoIP is fine”
You’re going to love it when the super-loud cell phone yakkers suddenly have another way to keep talking, but ‘have’ to talk louder since they cannot hear as well....
Actually I personally won't have a problem at all, since I bring a set of high-isolation earbuds (www.shure.com) and an MP3 player.
But overall, other people talking has been a problem for years, before phones, then with phones, now with VoIP -- it's all the same. My solution: Get earbuds.
:nodding in agreement: I see a new growth industry in pocket cell jammers...
