I agree with that, it is a shame no one seems to want to suggest a workable, alternative solution
"no one seems to want?"
Believe me, plenty of us would offer solutions if we had them, but another solution is not evident.
No cell phones or other communication devices in the pockets of players, period. Players may place them on the table in full view of everybody, with any display turned face down. Cell phones may not be taken with players during breaks in major team games.
People in the immediate area must have their cell phones, boom boxes, and other noisemakers on silent. Any non-player who creates a racket, though a device or through conversation, will be escorted from the playing area and asked to not return.
