According to the New York Daily News, went Genachowski to defend how these devices have become indispensable in everyday life.
"They allow people to stay informed and connected with friends and family, and they allow both large and small companies to be more productive and efficient, and thereby economic growth and the U.S. to increase competitiveness," he wrote.
FAA initially demanded that the gadgets are turned off during takeoff and landing of fear that they would interfere with aircraft avionics, the report said.
