FSS wallpaper isn't the only way of blocking electromagnetic transmissions, but it is the only solution that doesn't hinder every form of wireless communication. Firms employing the technology will still need to replace their windows with radio-absorbing glass.

Given the costs of replacing windows with radio-absorbing glass (that's going to be pricy), it will be much cheaper to just turn on WLAN security, use VPNs, etc., than this approach.
