I'd temper the enthusiastic reporting of BYOD by consulting entities a lot. BYOD is a way to allow VIPs to bring their own status-enhancing gold-plated trendy devices at work instead of being limited to the dirt-cheap greyboxes they allowed their IT services to purchase for everyone else. For the average enterprise minion BYOD does not exist or is strictly limited to configurations that are affectively identical to whatever those enterprises used to provide. The first answer an helpdesk will give to anyone that brought its own device and can't communicate with the enterprise Intenet gateway will be "you bought the device, buy the dataplan it needs" -- Nicolas Mailhot
