What happens when someone is in an accident and the phone doesn't work because the government blocked the tower access and someone dies? or someone whose house is served by a tower close to the highway can't call for emergency assistance in their own house because of bleed over "cell tower blocking"? Not to mention the money it would cost to repoint the towers.
Sorry, my bad. 'On your nations highways' was phrasing I used to describe 'in moving vehicles'. The article discussed in-vehicle solutions, and technology solutions with the carriers that blocked calls from moving locations such as cars. Not sure how it would work with trains. There wasn't a suggestion to deploy jammers alongside highways.
