Comment Faraday cage. (Score 0) 770
There are other low-tech technologies that could accomplish the same thing:
Faraday cage (ie metal mesh) around the building
Polarizing filters
There have been some companies in the US that have experimented with active signal jamming, but, as I recall these technologies were prohibited by FCC regulations. Magnetized wood paneling doesn't seem to violate any of these :-)
What kind of market does this technology have? Frankly, I love to go to the movies, but I don't think I, personally, would frequent one theatre over another, ceterus parabus, if they had this special panelling. Additionally, if it was quite expensive, I'm sure it wouldn't be included in new construction, much less retrofitting. I can't remember the last time I heard a cell phone in a theater; I'm sure as time goes on and these devices proliferate, there may be a demand for such technology.
