Restaurant Introduces 'No Cell Phone' Area

"The Vineyard Restaurant in Florida has a new way to please both diners that need to chat on their wireless phones and those that do not want to be disturbed by the devices. The restaurant has created a 'No Cell Phone' area allowing customers to dine without their handsets. Others can dine in the wireless phone designated area and conduct business as usual from their wireless handsets." (Source: Associated Press)

Sir, madam, smoking or non-smoking? cell phone or not? The choices for selecting the right corner of the restaurant are increasing. As norms for technology use are slowly developing, some places are getting ahead by trying to please everyone. This woud have to be a rather large location. I wonder if they have a smokers area as well. Do they partition both then? Do they place the wireless people to the smokers? Is this a development of a new semi-stigma, like for smoking? curious!
