Ban camera-phones in workplaces: Analyst

"All companies, not just those handling highly sensitive materials, should ban employees and visitors bringing camera-enabled phones into the premises", says Jack Gold, an analyst with IT research firm Meta Group, and reported by CNET Asia.

That's quite a statement and one Mike Masnick disagrees with over at Techdirt. "Completely banning the phones is an over reaction, a step backwards, and not (at all) a workable or reasonable response to the rise of such a tool. This is, of course, the typical response to anyone who doesn't understand a technology and is afraid of it (just ban it!), but does little to help in real life." I couldn't agree more.
