Stuff to add to lit review?
Excerpts from Goffman's paper "The Nature of Deference and Demeanor" American Anthropologist 58(3):475-499, 1956 A rule of conduct may be defined as a guide for action, recommended not because it is pleasant, cheap, or effective, but because it is suitable or just. Infractions characteristically lead to feelings of uneasiness and to negative social sanctions. Rules of conduct infuse all areas of activity and are upheld in the name and honor of almost everything. Always, however, a grouping of adherents will be involved--if not a corporate social life-providing through this a common sociological theme. Attachment to rules leads to a constancy, and patterning of behavior; while this is not the only source of regularity in human affairs it is certainly an important one. Of course, approved guides to conduct tend to be covertly broken, side-stepped, or followed for unapproved reasons, but these alternatives merely add to the occasions in which rules constrain at least the surface of conduct.
Rules of conduct impinge upon the individual in two general ways: directly, as obligations, establishing how he is morally constrained to conduct himself: indirectly, as expectations, establishing how others are morally bound to act in regard to him.

Hoflich in Mobile Ethnography book:
Yet the mobile phone is not disruptive to the same degree in all situations. In a theater, cinema, church, or museum, it is considered much more disruptive than on the street or on public squares. How the disruptions are perceived is dependent on the normative expectations that are in turn connected to the situational activity in question. At this point, the decisive factor is whether there is a specific or unspecific situation. The former includes concerts, eating out in a restaurant, or funerals, for example. As a rule in these cases, the mobile telephone disturbs because it impairs the performance of a function (ie silence is required or only quiet speaking allowed).
Lasen: lack of civil inattention in Paris and Madrid
Etiquette in London and Paris seems to require that phones be kept out of sight when sharing a meal with others.
Interestingly, this seems to be the case with the US, where mobile phone use trailed the Scandanavian and Asian countries so there has presumably been less to report until recently.
