<元器件>strong交易网讯 据外媒称,本周三,美国联邦通讯委员会(FCC)主席Julius Genachowski写信给联邦航空局(FAA)负责人Michael Huerta,敦促FAA允许乘客在飞机起降时使用移动电子设备,并力荐使用这些设备的好处。他说“可以让人们与家人或者朋友保持联系”。Genachowski又从经济方面为这项好的措施鼓吹,称这些设备的使用对大小商业生意都是富有成效的,并促进经济增长提高美国的竞争力。
为应对日益增加的公众压力,FAA在八月份成了专门委员会,以研究如何制定现阶段针对电子设备的政策,但迄今未有建树。希望这次来自FCC方面的推动能为这项措施的实施提供额外的动力,当然,前提是不会以引起飞机失事为最后结局。

FCC chairman urges FAA to let people use tablets during takeoff
The FCC is "urging" the FAA to let people use mobile electronic devices during flight takeoff and landing, reports The Hill. Julius Genachowski, Chairman of the FCC, sent a letter to FAA acting director Michael Huerta on Thursday exhorting the benefits of tablets and computers, which he says "empower people to stay informed and connected with friends and family." Genachowski also sprinkled in some economic arguments for good measure, saying that the devices enable "both large and small businesses to be more productive and efficient, helping drive economic growth and boost US competitiveness."
In response to growing public pressure, the FAA formed a committee in August to study its current policies on electronic devices, but so far no recommendations have been made. Hopefully, this nudge from the FCC can provide a little extra motivation to move things along. In a way that doesn’t end in planes dropping out of the sky, of course.
