If you read the FCC and FAA papers on the subject you'll see that the FCC's concern was that cell phones *could* cause confusion and overload of the cell networks -- when the planes are flying at 35,000 feet. In metro areas, multiple cell towers are competing to lock on to the on-plane signal. The FAA's concern with cell phones at altitude is that they are running at maximum transmitting power at high altitude, thus increasing the possibility of navigation interference. -- Ed Huntress OTOH: These hijacked flights would have been closer to the ground than a regular flight so despite the logic and multiple persons telling us it can't work the jury is still out for transmission capabilities.

No other scenario would be possible. ------------------- "Ed Huntress" wrote in message ... Uh, Ok. So it doesn't happen. But it did happen. g Ask anyone who has used one in a plane in the early days. Keep in mind that most of the use was, as I said, soon before landing (and soon after takeoff). We aren't talking about 30,000 feet. I'm going to post a lengthy quote from Wikipedia at the bottom of this. If you're interested, read it, and you'll see that cell phones did indeed work on planes, when they were legal, and in the early days the systems were analog, which is briefly mentioned. I have no idea how or if they work today, because they haven't been allowed on flights I've taken for years. Is this guy a communications engineer? (From Wikipedia) Cell tower channel re-use The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) currently prohibits the use of mobile telephones aboard any aircraft in flight. The reason given is that mobile phone systems depend on channel reuse and operating a phone at altitude may violate the fundamental assumptions that allow channel reuse to work. The FCC is also concerned that the use, or even non-use, of a powered cell phone could cause disruption to the cell systems' towers and has banned their use.[19] Mobile telephones are intentionally designed with a low power output. A tower is the center of a "cell" and due to attenuation with distance (inverse square law) cell phone transmissions can usually be received only weakly by towers in adjacent cells and not at all in cells farther away (non-adjacent cells). This allows the channel used by any given phone to be reused by other phones in non-adjacent cells. This principle allows tens or hundreds of thousands of people to use their phones at the same time in a given metropolitan area while using only a limited number of channels. Channel reuse works because a mobile phone on the ground will only have one "closest" tower that can possibly use a particular group of frequencies, CDMA codes, or time slots. The software that manages the system assumes that the signal from a phone on a particular tower can, on other towers, only be "heard" at greatly reduced signal strength. The frequency, code, or time slot used by the phone can therefore be reused by other phones on other towers. In the old analog cell system a channel was simply a frequency pair: There were seven groups of 35 channels each and no two adjacent cells used the same channel groups. Modern CDMA and TDMA systems are more complex: A channel in TDMA is a frequency pair, and a time slot, and a channel in CDMA is a spread spectrum key but the principle of channel reuse still applies. If a mobile phone is operated from an aircraft in flight above a city these assumptions ares no longer valid because the towers of numerous different cells may be about equidistant from the phone. Multiple towers might assume that the phone is under their control and the phone could be assigned a free channel by one tower but could also be heard on other towers using the same channel group. The channel might already be in use on those other towers and could cause interference with existing calls. It is also possible that the software controlling the towers could crash.[citation needed] Even if the software can cope with hearing the same phone on multiple non-adjacent towers the result at best is an overall decrease in system capacity. An additional concern is the output power of the mobile handset. Because the towers might be miles below the aircraft the phone might have to transmit at its maximum power to be received. This will increase the risk of interference with electronic equipment on the aircraft. Reply: A cell phone will work inside the plane. Just look at how many calls are made before push back from the gate. On board the planes, there are pay by the minute phones. Do not know if they are a cell phone or a radio system by themselves. I think the passengers were using the phones in the seat back when they learned of the crashes. Cell phone towers are not designed to handle 500 mph speeds. I understand in Japan the cell phone system everyone uses in town are only capable at less than 25 mph. |

They refuse to read or listen to anything negative about the man, evidently getting their info only from DNC spin sources/liberal TV. They will do no research whatsoever on the matter of politics. It's both scary and extremely maddening. I never watch TV, I read news online, including Drudge Report etc. I stand by my comment. I find President Obama to be above board honest. I do try to find evidence to the contrary. Where, the DNC website? So far, all that "birthers" and other bull**** mongers accomplished, is that they undermined my trust in the Republican party even further. You're likely right, to a point.

Cable television networks CNN, MSNBC and Fox said a senior US official had confirmed to them that bin Laden's body had been buried in the sea, without giving further details. US officials did not respond when contacted by AFP for confirmation of the reports. I hope to hell they documented the **** out of the body.

He would be contributing whether or not he needed the service himself. That's insurance. As an uninsured individual, he put the entire burden on the rest of society -- specifically, on California's three-tiered, taxpayer-funded health care system for the uninsured. One of those three tiers is federal, so all of us paid taxes to support it. Finding a way to contribute to a health care insurance system can be tough, but there are many support systems available that help with the burden. Not doing so is simple irresponsibility that shifts the entire burden onto the rest of us. -- Ed Huntress |

Dan In the end, it's less about the net financial result than it is about whether the money comes from a source that is calculated to distribute the costs, and to which we contribute in order to be responsible for ourselves, or from a general tax fund. This raises interesting questions in regard to a system of uniform health care. I've argued this with my son (who does economic research in this field), and I've tried taking both sides of the argument. d8-) My conclusion is that ducking the problem by not participating in an insurance system of some kind is socially destructive, no matter whether it saves money or just winds up costing the same. In one sense, we already have universal health care. It's just that a significant portion of it is coercive, in which people without insurance basically hold the rest of us up, relying on our unwillingness to just let people die in the streets as their coercive force. We could solve a lot of the social problem with a system of universal "insurance" to which one contributes what he can, with subsidies if necessary. Then we wouldn't have to push the Gunners of the world out into the street and leave them there until they turn to dust -- which is the libertarian solution, of course. That's another problem with libertarianism: It could get awfully smelly. -- Ed Huntress |

(In case you've forgotten, this is your cue to yawn and roll over.) -- Ed Huntress Was Gunners healthcare paid for by Federal, State, or Local taxes? In California, typically all three. There are three sources of public money that refund California hospitals, in a partial payment of the full bill: federal, state, and local (I think it's county). Or does the hospitals charge huge amounts from people without insurance and collect enough from this to pay for the people they can not collect from? Dan I don't know about California specifically on this point. The typical situation is that they issue a huge bill (roughly four times what my insurance company paid, when I had a heart attack in NJ), realizing that they only collect on a small proportion. The typical government funding pays for a fraction of the full bill -- roughly what Medicare pays, in total, which is 1/4 or 1/5 of a typical hospital bill -- and then the ultimate payer (Gunner) gets billed for the full amount. If he actually pays some of it back, it first goes to refund the basic costs of the hospital and the next part goes to pay back the taxes. Then, in an unusual circumstance in which the uninsured pays back the rest, it goes into a fund that covers other uninsured, or the hospital draws some portion of it, depending on the state. The idea of these plans is to keep hospitals solvent in the face of their mandate to serve the uninsured. -- Ed Huntress |

On May 4, 12:53 pm, Ignoramus15919 Conceivably, if you were a part of organized health care system, you would be less of a drag on the society's medical system. I can not see how that would happen. Assuming he had the same medical problems, he would have had the same treatment and would be the same cost or drag to society's medical system. Dan If he were part of an insured community, he would be contributing to the pool from which everyone in that insurance cohort may or may not draw, depending on whether they have a health care need. He would be contributing whether or not he needed the service himself. That's insurance. As an uninsured individual, he put the entire burden on the rest of society -- specifically, on California's three-tiered, taxpayer-funded health care system for the uninsured. One of those three tiers is federal, so all of us paid taxes to support it. Finding a way to contribute to a health care insurance system can be tough, but there are many support systems available that help with the burden. Not doing so is simple irresponsibility that shifts the entire burden onto the rest of us. -- Ed Huntress Members of the underground economy wouldn't contribute to any type of system unless it was funded through unavoidable sales taxes. However it would be more economical to have a single payer system and pay for health care for some people that don't deserve it than our current system. |

Ed Huntress You are correct in that he is not contributing. * *So the net result is worse. *As I see it same drag, different amounts of support. Perhaps, if he was required to contribute, it would make him seek regular employment. * Perhaps you should mind your own damn business. Ooooh, getting testy, sleepless one? Iggy contributed to Gunner's healthcare with his taxes. It *is* his business. (In case you've forgotten, this is your cue to yawn and roll over.) -- Ed Huntress- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Every American Tax Payer has contributed to Gunner's heathcare...and continued living expenses.
