The FCC in my Cell Phone

On a related note...

I just got a new cell phone and it's so damn complicated that i have to actually read the manual. Towards the end there's a bit on the federal guidelines to which the phone's usage is subject. It states that profanity and indecent language are prohibited due to FCC regulations. I'm assuming it's because my signal is being broadcast over public airspace like tv signals. Does it follow that i can't type profanity if i'm using a pager or wifi? These signals are broadcast over the air, too. And why, since it's private and most even have scramblers, do FCC rules apply anyway? The public does not have access to it.

Many people i know are switching over to cell phones entirely and ditching landline service. Will all phone conversation of the future be regulated?
