Section 333. The manufacture, importation, sale or offer for sale, including advertising, of devices designed to block or jam wireless transmissions is prohibited. 47 U.S.C. Section 302a(b). Parties in violation of these provisions may be subject to the penalties set out in 47 U.S.C. Sections 501-510. Fines for a first offense can range as high as $11,000 for each violation or imprisonment for up to one year, and the device used may also be seized and forfeited to the U.S. government." The FCC maintains that once it has granted a license for the use of specific frequencies, it is not within the purview of privately owned businesses to thwart their transmission for any reason, or by any method. Completely enforceable? Not likely. But I'll not patronize any business that actively or passively blocks cell reception, and I'll wager that I'm not alone. Let the market forces prevail, my friends, and we'll see who's got the most financial juice these days; the Luddites or the Technophiles. “The Wireless Communications Act of 1934 prohibits any person from willfully or maliciously interfering with the radio communications of any station licensed or authorized under the Act or operated by the U.S. government. 47 U.S.C.

Sure, they are a major source of communication but people wont die in large numbers if the signal was blocked in certain areas. Signs can be marked to show that cell signals are being blocked and people can act accordingly with that info. Presumably land lines can still work in these areas so emergency communication is still possible. As Billy said, we managed to survive these long years without cell phones.

Your statement on safety is bunk...we did not use cell phones and they were safe then. Currently any business wanting to block or shield themselves using paint or other material can and should if they feel the need.
