Narrative:

On taxi out; we had over 15 ACARS interference(s) with communication 1. One missed ATC call on ground due to interference. The next two legs there were multiple interference with acars and communication 1. On landing; we had over 17 interferences from 1000 feet AGL and clearing the runway. It is time for the air carrier and the FAA to take action on this issue before there is a serious accident!!!all the data that is being transmitted is not necessary during aircraft movement; other than flight tracking. Engine data must be stopped from being transmitted while the aircraft is moving until they can fix this problem.
