It seems so, and on top of all, they seem to pay for almost everything on the
net, I still remember the good days when you could surf around the net without
a login requester popping up and tell that I can access the site only if I pay
US$XXX. Not everything gets better...

No, you're not alone. I get irritated when mobile-specific posts get cross
posted to uk.telecom as well as uk.telecom.mobile. If they don't go to
the latter, it's usually lack of knowledge of the poster that is the reason
but when cross-posted, it means they have chosen to post off-topic junk (in
uk.telecom it is off-topic, anyway).

NB that's a poor replacement for a sig separator... I assume you use it
to prevent other newsreaders clipping your signature from follow-ups.

Some months ago, on radio, they mentioned a "cough" ringtone which might
end up being used by people in cinemas/theatres/restaurants, as that's a
less obvious 'ring' and might not be noticed so much. I guess a cough,
with at least 10 seconds of silence after it would be best...

Hmm....I'd think VIBRATE would be better in a theatre...no noises at all.

Some theatres and restaurants are also running the cellphone broadband
jammers which are very effective inside their buildings, I hear. Problem
solved...(c; I don't mind a cellphone ringing in a restaurant,
especially if it has a ringtone different from my ol' telephone default
Motobeeper. If there's some kind of performance going on, I think the
jammer is very appropriate. Schools all should run the jammers until the
bell rings and classes let out, turn them off so the kids can call Mom,
then jam them again as the bell rings starting the next class.

There's a whole market installing timed jammers in schools I haven't seen
addressed. Jam the bands from on-the-hour to hour + 50 minutes starting
at 0800 to 1500, or whatever the school's class schedule is. Leave the
jammer off during lunch, starting it again for the afternoon classes....
All the kids could bring their cellphones, now controlled access, to
school as they DO serve valuable functions....instead of this blanket
banning our schools do around here, which doesn't work, of course, just
drives the phones underground.

There's also a market installing coshes for hitting pensioners over
the head and stealing their pensions. That's illegal too.
