  1. Tog's already tackled that one by count0 · · Score: 1 · on Mobile Phone Abuse and AbUsers

    His description of such a system is here. and includes a link to a company that now makes such a thing.

  2. Quiet-Zones by detritus. · · Score: 3, Interesting · on NYC Law Aims To Ban Cell Phones In Theatres

    I'm glad someone brought this up... Blue Linx Inc. has been working on this for quite some time now. The question is whether it will be adopted by the industry or not (be sure to read the FAQ on Blue Linx's site). There's also another article mentioning Quiet-Zones here.

    Tog has come up with a similar idea.
    The Bluetooth solution mentioned elsewhere can be found here.

  4. Don't block, mute. by scotfl · · Score: 3, Interesting · on Low-Tech Cell Phone Blocking
    The best solution to the problem (that I've seen) is a beacon that sets all cellphones in range to silent (vibrate) mode.

    The first place I saw the idea was AskTog, May, 2000. But he has an update saying the technology has been developed by a company called bluelinx.

  5. Make it optional, not mandatory by yali · · Score: 5 · on Canada Considers Cellphone Jammers

    it would be better if there was some kind of cell phone maker organization that setup somethign were you could buy a device that would make tell cell phones that they are in a 'quiet zone'

    You mean something like this?

    In my opinion, it's much better if cell-phone jamming is optional, rather than accomplished by brute force. What if the babysitter is trying to tell me there's been an emergency at home, and my phone doesn't even vibrate?
