Really?!? Anyone have more details?

Well I do know that the major financial institution in the UK for whom
I worked in the early to mid nineties had all its buildings shielded.
I know this for sure because when one entrance was remodelled, I saw
the actual copper shielding being installed. Cell phone and pager
service were also severely impacted by the shielding - usually no cell
service at all, and if you did get a page, there would always be heaps
of gibberish in with (or instead of) the text.
