Hi Dave,
Here is something you might like for the IP list:

One has to wonder what the impact of VoIP & Video over IP will be on air
travel. Will passengers tolerate other passengers who spend a long
transcontinental flight on their IP phone gabbing away while others are
trying to sleep or read? Will the airlines be forced to set up "quiet
cabins" much in the same way Amtrak has "quiet cars" on their
northeastern
routes? How long before we see the first noise-canceling IP phone which
will eliminate background and engine noise to allow for quiet phone
calls
from airplanes?
