So this is a problem with wifi delivery systems (aka, "in-flight wifi"), not wifi devices that just happen to have their radios on, and does not happen at normal operating levels. There's nothing a passenger can do to cause or stop this. It can only happen if the in-flight wifi is misconfigured and then turned on.

Or in other words, it's a red herring.
So what happens when you have 300 wifi devices on at once? Inside a Faraday cage? Why is "wifi" delivery worse? Does it run at higher power?
