The only way to legally block cell phone RF would likely be on behalf
of the licensee ----  In other words, possibly, persuade the cell
phone companies to allow this,   then  create an approved "special"
local cell tower  all their phones in the same building will by
default connect to  in preference to any other,  which will also  not
receive any calls or messages   or allow any to be sent.

I wonder how many customers the cell phone company will attract by doing that.

Getting paid by third parties to abuse your customers seems to be working
well for certain other industries.
