"What movie theater owners are asking the FCC for is to do this electronically without tearing down existing structures....and I already pointed out, way up the thread, that exclusion zones are possible"

The only way you can ensure that jammers don't leak signal outside the premises of a theater is to enclose them in a faraday cage - thereby making them unneeded.

It IS possible, but it is technically difficult to limit where RF goes. However, I'd be more than happy to sell theaters consulting hours on this subject!!!! (You've given me a great idea should this get approved by the FCC....which it won't)

Bingo. It is highly doubtful that a ciniplex could implement a scheme that would be able to precisely exclude certain rows of a movie theater.

Theaters could exclude certain rooms, but that would defeat the purpose. Exclusionary zones are only useful if the showing rooms are partitioned.

Even this doesn't make much sense as most showing rooms do not have separate balconies.
