Mobile 'Phone Use On Aircraft

Airlines have different rules on the use of mobile 'phones on their aircraft but even the most liberal only allow their use, for example, whilst approaching the gate on the taxiway.
I see that Ryanair is about to introduce the option to use mobile 'phones in the air.
I have one question: If the use of mobile 'phones presents a potential hazard to the safety of the aircraft, how will Ryanair cabin crew distinguish between those who are legitimately using their system and the morons who are trying to get a signal on their own networks?
I can't imagine that Ryanair, and perhaps the regulatory authorities, haven't thought about this, but are there any experts out there who can answer this question?
Many thanks, in advance.
