I hate to sound harsh, but the bottom line is most people are fairly stupid and because of this fact the government had no choice but to step in and do something.
Could they ban other "distractions" as well? Yep. But cell phones are one of, if not the worst distraction and general populas is too dimwitted to realize it so I say its a great place to start.
