I believe most of them will yell because of the noise of the plane. I believe they will also be more inclined to believe they should be able to talk/yell if they want because it's a service they've paid for.
Last paragraph of the article:
"Carriers are reluctant to make cellphone connections available during flights, partly for technical and bandwidth reasons and partly to avoid problems between passengers seeking quiet and those talking loudly to be heard above flight noise."
It struck me as ironic that they would enable WiFi, and then say "but we won't allow phones" for the reasons stated above.
I hope dc/dc is right, and that they use blocking heavily.
