The Mobile-Phone Silencers Controversy

چکیده
Simply put, the term “mobile phone silencer” is a generic one that describes a class of devices that disrupt mobile phone service. Their purpose is to create a “silent zone,” in which normal cell coverage is interfered with and in which mobile phones cannot operate. This, supposedly, enforces phone etiquette in places where ring tones and phone conversations are unacceptable or forbidden. Some examples are restaurants, theatres and music halls, seminar and meeting rooms, as well as places of worship.
