No bar is going to install a cell, gps or wifi jammer to avoid a small fine... as doing so would put them out of business. No customer is going to hang out in

No customer is going to hang out in a bar where their cell phone doesn't work.
- maccard 7y ago> No customer is going to hang out in a bar where their cell phone doesn't work. I don't think that's true - there's plenty of coffee shops/bars where my phone is totally dead as most of the walls in the city I live in are solid stone and at least a foot thick.
- dewey 7y agoSports bars are a bit different in that regard as people want to look at their bets or look at stats / follow events on Twitter etc
- bluedino 7y agoWhat bar is going to be quiet enough for sound fingerprinting to work?
- dagw 7y agoSince you know exactly what you are listening for I imagine you can handle quite a lot of noise in your signal. If you want to take it one step further I imagine you could create a special audio fingerprint that is easy to detect over the normal sort of background noise in a bar (which tends to be quite uniform) and broadcast that at regular intervals.
- golem14 7y agoIf you have enough time for recording, I guess it doesn't matter. Also I suppose noise in bars is in a rather narrow band compared to the sound from the TVs. Haven't tried though, just my guess. Of course bars could just stream without noise and just use closed caption ... Interesting what would happen if patron a brings their phone and watches a match, and patron B next to her is picking up the noise and reporting the bar :)
