As New York plans to make cell phones work in subway stations, experts say Americans eventually could be connected everywhere, underground or in the air.

Any solitude found waiting for a New York subway is bound to end. City officials have solicited bids to connect more than half the stations for cell phone service, although there's no set timetable yet.

Cell phone service in planes is further off, with the Federal Aviation Administration determining if use in flight would interfere with electronic equipment.

If it's found to be safe, providing service would be up to individual airlines, an FAA spokeswoman said. Meanwhile, most people aren't clamoring for cell phones in the sky.
