Put hundreds of them in a pretty boxes, form an LLC, get a few VCs to sign on, flip the switch, then charge a monthly fee to “open previously-inacessible service areas to cellular customers” and you’ll have a successful startup!
Hold on, GumpyDuckling… checks clipboard tsk tsk, I see here you’re not wealthy enough to effectively lobby to get us in trouble; I’m afraid that’ll be a $10,000 fine.
Ahh, but you can subscribe to my private emergency services on my own frequencies which aren’t blocked, then nobody can block mine because they are the only available emergency service frequency.
If the FCC can’t regulate anything I guess I’ll just run a high power jammer and block all cell signal in the area.

Wait! You will get in trouble for that. Instead you need to have an LLC that does that for Profit somehow. Then all is forgiven!
Bonus points if it involves an “app”.
It’s a privacy subscription service.
Privacy? You can’t have privacy.
It’s to block access to CSAM. Shame it blocks everything else.
Ah but technically it’s still illegal to disrupt emergency services and also leaves you liable to lawsuits.
But yeah, the FCC in particular can’t stop you from doing that.

The word used is “Disrupt” which implies you cannot impede access to them even if you offer an alternative method.
Call the cops then, oh wait.
