A business communication environment is part of an organization's operations. Telecommunications, internet and courier systems are customary to business functions. Business communication statutes exist to regulate the operations of businesses so that the public and interested shareholders have accurate information. The three main business communication statues are the freedom of information, communication and telecommunication acts.
Cell phone jammers are devices that work to disrupt or completely block out the signal of nearby cell phones. The size of the area a cell phone jammer can block depends on the individual device's strength. Some cell phone jammers are portable, allowing a user to take the devices into public areas such as movie theaters and restaurants. Cell phone jammers are illegal in the United States, and are regulated by the FCC.
Even though it is commonly believed that cell phone frequency jamming technology is illegal in the United States, there exists no federal statues or regulations that specifically addresses the issue. However, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Department of State (DOS) use a few federal statutes, and regulations based on international treaties, to enforce a ban on behalf of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), a specialized agency of the United Nations (UN).
