Theater Owners to FCC: We Want Cell Jammers
December 19th, 2005 | by amarfresh |Engadget reprots that theater owners will petition FCC to jam cellphones.
With flat panel prices in free-fall and sizes approaching those anaemic megaplex screens, it’s no wonder the National Association of Theater Owners is in a panic about the decline in consumers willing to slap down a near-sawbuck to watch a flick. What to do? Well, it looks like cellphone jamming is the new baby jeebus in an industry attempt to lure your azz back into their buttery seats.
With the efficiency that Hollywood has in pushing policy, it is likely that your local Loew’s will have a jammer’s installed before your local high school or library.

Jamming cell phones is illegal… Plus, there are times when getting an urgent call are a matter of life and death. So theater owners should look for other solutions to the annoyance of people answering their not-urging calls during movies…
