    I am not surprised by this at all. This is the typical binge and purge that happens at any large enterprise.

    My employeer went thru the same thing, only in reverse. At first you could only get a BlackBerry if it was approved by the CFO. That requirement was removed and the responsibility fell to the individual managers to use their budget as they say fit. I fully expect that there will be some backlash in the future and some people will lose their BlackBerry.
  • Great post again mate. I think you’ve hit the nail on the head there. It doesn’t have to be hard yet mose people fail to realize the basics.
