Smart Phone Sales Could Drop $40 Billion by 2016 if People Use Their Own Phones at Work

Paradoxically, what is good for enterprises and small businesses might not be so good for mobile handset providers or mobile service providers.


The growing number of workers that bring their own smart phones into the mobile workplace means enterprises and other businesses do not have to buy devices for their workers. And if employers reimburse workers for service charges related to their personal devices, employers do not have buy additional mobile subscriptions.
