I don't know, Chris - everything I see says exactly the opposite.  Even ARMA (via an article in a recent issue of Information Management) is acknowledging that the next trend is B.Y.O.D. - Bring Your Own Device.  At Boulder County, we (the IT Department, which I am a part of) are encouraging employees to turn in their County-issued cell phones and tablets and use their own - while giving the County a level of control over personal devices that makes some of us rather uncomfortable. (Luckily, I was never important enough to have a County phone, so no one is pushing me to use my phone for business.)  How do they do this? Moneymoneymoneymoneymoneymoneymoney. Any employee who uses their personal phone to do county business can get a stipend of up to $60 per month. For most departments, that's cheaper than paying for County-issued phones.  So here, it's not only "Bring your phone on in" but "Let us use it, password protect it, and give us the ability to remotely wipe it if you lose it!"

Maybe
Read Bak's paper.

"The way I read this, it places Information Governance in a realm in which records management is defined as a need but lower on the totem pole.  IG will require IT to manage it and massive software to truly deliver IG.
 Monitoring and warehousing phone calls, text messages, tweets and other realms of the Smart Phone world will be an IT function."

Alan Murdock authored a paper on this issue when he was Archivist for Pfizer, back in the day. Dig it up.

"
More and more we will see the cell phones being left in the car and all communication prohibited that is not on the official phone system and via official link computers where the corporate software can manage it."

Maybe in the short term. When the cell phone goes away (not to long from
now) this will change.

"More and more we will see the cell phones being left in the car and all communication prohibited that is not on the official phone system and via official link computers where the corporate software can manage it."

Not to long from now I see cell phones as we know them migrating to satellite phones. You vision of total control at that point will be a reality. Users will be thin client. Band width will not be an issue.
Everything will be stored remotely. Secure environments will not need to restrict information at the point of creation. Information will be controlled at the point of storage.

What will Records Managers be in this new world? How long before we get there?
We will get there faster than folks think. they have already stopped putting up cell towers in most if not all areas. As phones reach saturation land lines will be gone (2-5 years) bandwidth and others issues, some of which you address, will drive alternative solutions.

We, as Records Managers, could seek to drive our new identity in this brave new world. However, if history is any example, we will wait (probably to
long) for the forces of change to define our role. we might survive, if the courts catch up to the change fast enough. Technology could render us obsolete, much like punch card operators of the seventies.

Will IG allow for the role of COI? We don't want to become CIO's unless there is no other avenue. Most Records Managers could not make the transition anyway.

we live in interesting times.
Fall is upon us.
