Mexico churches vs. Cellphones
Not that i’m religious, but it’s interesting what some churches located on Monterrey, Mexico are doing to keep their ceremonies in total calm and peace. We’re on a era where almost everybody on the middle class can get a cellphone without any rate plans — you just make sure you have credit, which leasts 60 days, and you can get more with only buy pre-paid cards — and very cheap ones — without all that multimedia features — from about $30 USD.
What these churches made for block incoming signal from the carriers was installing signal-jamming systems created by a Israeli Israeli telecoms equipment firm Netline Communications Technologies. So during the service, your cellphone simply displays a No Signal message and of course your mobile doesn’t get screwed or something, so don’t worries, it just blocks the signal. Now, all churches from whole Mexico are calling to these, and want to know how they can get this kind of equipment, so they don’t have to deal with the assistants and ask them to leave.
I think it would be cool if this kind of equipment is available at the theater, because, you know, you’re watching a movie… i don’t know… probably some that you have expected from long time ago, or just is one of your favorite movies and you don’t want to miss any detail of it. Then some random gets a call and interrupt your experience … i think you know what I’m talking about.
