Nick Bilton Credited with F.A.A.’s New Policy on GadgetsLast Thursday, the Federal Aviation Administration (F.A.A.) announced they will be relaxing rules on in-flight usage of Portable Electronic Devices (PEDs) during all stages of flight. Eventually, passengers will be able to read e-books, watch videos or play games on devices with limited exceptions. Nick Bilton, a technology and business columnist for The New York Times, is credited for making the F.A.A. change their stance on PEDs. In 2011, with only a few pages left before finishing an e-book, he was forced to turn off his Kindle before takeoff. Bothered, he strived to prove the rules were an inconvenience. The F.A.A. agreed to form a committee to further investigate. Thanks to his efforts, we will all be able to use our smartphones, tablets and other PEDs gate-to-gate. Although implementation will vary among airlines, many airlines are expected to convert to the new policies by the end of this year. Prior to implementation, airlines are required to prove their aircrafts permit passengers to safely use electronics in airplane mode. You can read more about the F.A.A. prior to last Thursday’s rule change at The New York Times Bits Blog, where Bilton is the lead blogger covering the technology industry, innovations, disruptions and their effects on individuals. On behalf of FortyThree PR and many other technology enthusiasts, we wanted to say THANK YOU NICK BILTON! If you’re feeling thankful as well, you can shoot him a thank you tweet on Twitter at @nickbilton, where Ryan Block and others have already acknowledged his efforts. |
