"Electronics on Board
Laptops and other personal electronic devices (PEDs) such as hand-held computer games and tape or CD players are also restricted to use above 10,000 feet owing to concerns they could interfere with aircraft instrumentation"
It is a U.S. rule, so airlines can feel free to ignore if the flight isn't taking off or landing in the U.S..
