> we simply put all of the phones in a box > IT asked, "but how will we connect all of the phones?" my answer was, "no phones." We've come so far in time, that I didn't connect that as a desk-phone reference & instead was still wondering how wireless wasn't related to "phone". Also, about a decade ago my job had a "no phones" rule, which was that our mobile phones would be shoved into a lockbox when entering the R&D area. The "no desk-phone" policy is almost universal recently, mostly because nobody can "step away" to talk something confidential and instead end up polluting the entire open office area with ringtones & otherwise irrelevant gossip fodder.
