For now, yes...

Actually, I reprised it a couple of months ago, upon learning the
theatre we put the Pony Show tour into in Tokyo was fitted with
cellular jammers, which were switched on when the houselights went
out, and off when the houselights came up, roughly speaking.  No one
in the audience seemed at all put out by not being able to mess with
their transistorized umbilcal cord during the performances.

Frankly, I think that FCC law needs to be changed. Tomorrow would be fine...

With respect to the subject line, I for one believe there's a huge
difference between a theatre jamming for preserving the artistic
integrity of a show and a hotel jamming to increase their revenue
stream, but that's just me.
