Already happened in Europe. They're well ahead of us when it comes to mobile
phones, technologically and culturally. I used to work for a European
company, and the guys from over there would (a) leave their phones on in
meetings and (b) answer them, frequently leaving the room in the middle of a
discussion to carry on a 10-minute conversation. I'm talking 50-year-old VPs
too, and plenty of the calls were not at all mission-critical.


The pagers with keyboards were real popular at BellSouth. Sit down in a meeting
with their executives and look around. At any point in time, half of them would
be punching away at their pagers.
