Imagine our relief

Finally, we won’t have to power off during takeoff and landing | Ars Technica

After months of cajoling, prodding, and pushing, the Federal Aviation Administration is expected to finally remove the requirement that electronic devices be turned off and put away during the takeoff and landing phases of commercial flights.…

The new rules will almost certainly not permit mobile phone calls, in-flight texting, or mobile data use that would require communication with ground-based towers.

[Emphasis mine.]

OK, but at least they will be like, you know, on. Whew.
