Block That Ringtone!

An NYT story on cell phone jamming in U.S....not the actual blocking of the phone signal, but the ringtone/ringer. Some companies are developing technolgies will help screen and silence calls selectively...

Bluelinx, based in Charlotte, N.C., is developing a system called Q-Zone (the Q standing for quiet) that uses Bluetooth wireless technology to put phones equipped with Q-Zone software into silent or vibrate mode when they are taken into a specified zone.
