Re: [telecom] Cell-phone generation increasingly disconnected [Telecom]

Seems to me the same claims were made regarding prohibiting

> smoking in airplanes, bars, restaurants, and stores.

That's why it had to be banned in all bars at once, all resaurants at once and all stores at once.

That is the claim that the bar and restaurant owners make. I'm not convinced their argument holds water. Maybe.

To my knowledge no one has tried setting up a cell phone dead zone on purpose (save for some special cases of secure facilities) and advertising the fact. I really don't see why new movie theatres don't do it. Restaurants are a bit different, and I really don't mind cell phones there, but some do. I would not avoid a restaurant because my cell phone didn't work there. I'm not afraid to be out of touch for an hour or two. I could even see some places advertising it as a feature, "come enjoy our elegant, cell phone free, environment."
