From the Paper:

"In the wake of several high profile lawsuits in which employers were sued for accidents caused by employees who were using cell phones while driving, the rising costs of cell phone bills, and the creation of new PDA and smart phones allowing access to the internet and data transfer; many employers are asking whether their company should create and add a cell phone policy to their handbooks. As a result, companies are faced with a dilemma between the convenience and functionality of issuing their employees cell phones and the misuse or overuse of the cell phones. What should a policy include? What are the responsibilities and guidelines for the employees and the employers?"
