Is this what you were looking for?
Cellphone jammer
I personally am dreading the use of cellphones on planes. Even now there are some that yack until the plane starts moving and yack as soon as the wheels hit the ground. It's a real nuisance...

I recall reading that it's a source of genuine frustration for pilots that even now the people in the cabin have access to far better voice communication technology than they do.
It'd be nice to think some of these benefits could be put to use in the flightdeck.

When someone starts yapping away on their spivphone in a train, the best trick is to stop reading, gazing out of the window or whatever, get their eye contact and pretend that you are listening intently to their conversation. The odd nod, raised eyebrow and "Really" "Hmmm" or other comment will soon begin to put them off their yack with Simon in Sales or whoever their crucially important call is with....
Use some manners, spivphone yappers - switch the phone to silent message mode in public transport or make your call from the end of the carriage. Same goes for aeroplanes when this picocell system is installed - hopefully to use it for incoming calls or outgoing calls will require a substantial registration fee and high call charges to minimise disturbance to other passengers.

Thanks Snoop.
That looks like the very fellow for me. I have a deep dislike of mobile phones and a great disrespect for clients who insist on leaving them switched on during meetings.
Most of my work briefs now come in 3 minute sound packages interspersed with the ringtone and subsequent half of a conversation from a ruddy mobile. As a result, meetings take twice as long and I am never really sure if I am getting the full picture.
Apart from being frustrating, it is also downright rude.
The prospect of being stuck next to a "Mobile Muppet" on a flight simply makes me cringe.
Must try Beagle's method method next time I am stuck in restaurant with one of these monkeys.

Have I got this straight?
A 'plane manufacturer has spent vast sums of money so that airline passengers can suffer intense irritation on flights?
Great. Thanks. Realy needed that.
