Hello Bart, It seems that you are taking the reactive approach. If this is necessary due to policies then you are going to have a very hard time being able to track individual users of mobile communication devices within the building without some sort of triangulation. However there is a proactive approach to implementing this policy. There exist technologies which key-up over the transmitting power of these mobile devices, and effectively interfere with any rf signals entering the building. This creates a sort of "black hole" for rf signals effectively disabling mobile communications. I believe canada was considering an implementation of this within their movie theatres. The main reason they were not able to implement this AFAIK was due to legal reasons, something along the lines of if there's an emergency which occurs and the land lines are not working then you would have been responsible for preventing these people from getting help. I am not a lawyer though and would suggest talking to either a legal department or an attorney knowledgable in this subject area.
