After the committee intervened in communications regulations, the Savoy Cinema in Dublin dismantled a device used to encrypt mobile phone signal jammers. The Irish Times reported in its ticketing supplement on Thursday that the O’Connell Street cinema was using the device. Yesterday, the cinema dismantled the equipment and plans to dispose of it on Monday. Savoy is equipped with a device called a “portable cell phone jammer” that prevents people in the audience from making or receiving calls. Mark Anderson, operations manager of the Ward Anderson Group, which runs the Savoy complex, said: “The very low-power equipment we have only affected the Savoy Hall 1.” “I think the legal situation is more than the facts. Not sure.”
Anderson believes that mobile phones are not only a trouble in movie theaters, but also a potential threat to public order and may cause ugly confrontations between audiences. Niall McCaughey, Director of Spectrum Compliance at the Communications Regulations Committee, said he sympathizes with Anderson and his customers for the plight. He said: “I fully understand and agree with this.” “Unfortunately, it is still illegal.”
Although he suspects that there are others, this is the first time Mr. McCoy has been told of a mobile cell phone jammer used in Ireland. He said: “For about three years, we have heard of this kind of thing.” “Although this is the product I sell on many websites in Ireland, the one I see here is the first.” But, If it does not comply with the regulations, it cannot be put on the market. “Anderson said that Savoy imported the equipment from the United States. The equipment is also prohibited from operation in the United States, but cannot be exported. According to McCaughey, the equipment violates the Wireless Telegraphy Act of 1926, which requires obtaining Radio broadcasting equipment licenses and prohibits interference with existing licensees. It also violates EU directives regarding the sale or use of such equipment and preventing the use of emergency services. MobileBlocker has partnered with three mobile phone providers Vodafone, O2 and Meteor The same frequency sends interference signals.
Anderson believes that the peace and tranquility of thousands of Dublin moviegoers is once again disturbed by the annoying sounds of custom ringtones, beep messages and uninterrupted text listening. But Mr. McCoy has only one hope of solving this problem. Since the bandwidth belongs to the three mobile network operators, they can agree to install “special cells” in certain locations. These still allow access to emergency numbers and block normal incoming and outgoing calls. Telephone companies have little interest in trying to develop these systems in other European countries such as the Netherlands, and these companies have also benefited a lot from them. However, Mr. Anderson is determined to continue fighting and “emphasizes the injustice of this situation.” At the same time, anyone interested in watching a movie on the weekend should know what happened in Savoy 1. In the phone booth is Colin Farrell. I believe that the reasonable use of mobile phone jammers should show their fair value and protect their legitimate rights and interests.
