I don't think it changes much. Passive methods (ie. Faraday cage) would likely be fine, as would layer 8 through 10 methods.
Well... actually... passive methods are probably fine, as long as they are not breaking reception to nearby properties, BUT it might result in some proceedings or investigations regarding anticompetitive behaviors --- also, if there are other businesses nearby, it could lead to some objections when you go seeking permits to build this giant faraday cage. The local authorities might eventually require some modifications. :)
Actually, if you turn your building into a faraday cage, I’m not sure there’s any legal basis on which to tell you that you have to permit RF through, even if it blocks the signal downstream. Creating a shadow is very different from actively emitting “harmful interference” and I don’t know of any laws or regulations which could be used to prevent you from doing so. Owen
